How much slower do you suppose it would be? Especially for
utf-8, which I assume is fast anyway (it doesn't even seem to
reject excessively high codepoints... I'm not _entirely_ sure
utf-8 is not actually identical to emacs-internal, does anyone
know any concrete differences?)
Sometimes features, and correctness, have a performance cost. If
performance is the end-all and be-all priority, let's just
abolish all encodings and assume all filenames are in
emacs-internal.
What if it's only a 1% slow down? 5%? 10%? Or would an absolute
measure be more appropriate - i.e. define how much time it's
acceptable for it to take (on some standard directory and CPU).

Strictly speaking, it's correctness for one encoding.
In trying to come up with another example, I noticed that in an
EUC-JP locale, typing "*修"TAB ("*\275\244") doesn't actually
match "文字化け" ["\312\270\273\372\262\275\244\261"] as I had
expected it to. I guess matching with embedded stars goes
through a different code path? Is there a way to simply enable
doing this for normal completion when the file system encoding
is utf-8-hfs? Or to add post-filtering [only return a filename
if it matches both the existing way *and* the decoded string
matches], only enabled by default on utf-8-hfs?
Or is even the time spent checking a boolean variable too much
of a performance penalty?
