I don't know, but there's already a bunch of stuff in Emacs that uses emacs-startup-hook and after-init-hook, so I assumed that's the way I'm supposed to do it.
But Stefan and I agree that maybe-disable--dynamic-cursor in particular is ugly, and I recommend not using it. I just wrote it to satisfy a requirement he gave (avoiding trampling on the user's setting of cursor-type in his init file) if dynamic-cursor defaults to t.
I recommend defaulting dynamic-cursor to nil, which avoids the need for maybe-disable--dynamic-cursor, because the latter doesn't solve the general problem (the user might set cursor-type even after startup) and Emacs provides no way to solve it. I originally recommended defaulting dynamic-cursor to t, because I missed the problem (the trampling) that he pointed out.
