I haven't tried yet. I installed n°2 because it's the "safe choice".
We can still choose n°3 and/or n°1 which both have a wider impact.
I liked the simplifications in 59732a83c8 as well, and we do keep some
of them.
As for disadvantages to n°3, I remember trying it out some months ago but
I can't remember why nor can I remember why I haven't kept this change
in my local hacks. Sorry.
IOW, someone will have to try it.
Of course, there are the obvious disadvantages of spending time to
compile `loaddefs.el` and the added space used by `loaddefs.elc`, tho
a lot of it would be recovered by the space saved in etc/DOC.
