Should I install these changes (with proper doc string)?
Yes, please do.
For historical reasons, Emacs uses mouse-2 to take action on
clickable text in a buffer, typically to follow a link to a position
in another file or buffer.
It is not just historical reasons. Mouse-2 fits in better with the
usual Emacs mouse bindings than Mouse-1. We've decided to give higher
priority to compatibility with other programs, at the cost of fitting
in not quite as well.
But what about the Emacs manual? Would a it suffice to put a generic
mentioning like this somewhere (I would add this to NEWS as well):
I suggest you grep for Mouse-2 and for Mouse-1, and change the places
that need changing.
