That makes sense and must be right. But backspace should also handle
grapheme clusters.

I see. You're saying that the deletion by grapheme clusters or by
codepoints may be a matter of preference. In that case, it would be nice
to have a variable similar to composition-break-at-point that would
enable deletion by grapheme clusters.
