You and Eli gave two analyses of the nature of this change:
Eli:
> w32-register-hot-key allows a consistent UX across platforms
> _inside_Emacs_. Your changes, AFAIU, aims at using Emacs as a way to
> work around problems in the OS WM, not in Emacs running on that OS.
Lars:

If Lars is right, it is ok to install. If Eli is right, it should not
be installed.
So it's a matter of which of those two is right. I have no idea.
But you can compare notes and figure out.
Is it possible that, in some way, both are right? If so, this is a
strange situation and worth deeper study.
