To be clear, as I said, I still don't think the existence of
switch-to-buffer-in-dedicated-window means toggle-window-dedicated
should default to weak dedication :)

No "refinments" are necessary, this is exactly the behavior which is
achieved by just using weak dedication, like the command in my patch
currently does.
I'm happy to make it customizable, though. I just believe the default
should be weak dedication.
