I really don't have a strong preference about the issue at hand, to tell
you the truth.

But I don't think we should shy away from relying on `let` just on the
premise that Elisp programmers will use `setq` instead.  Doing that will
simply make it more likely that those programmers won't learn to use
`let`.
