Best consistency tends do arise when taking a good
hard look of the pros and cons of each change, instead
of citing blanket policy.

Here they are: see the second paragraph and the ensuing
discussion, where Eli suggests benchmarks:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2019-10/msg00537.html

I can summarize:

1. There are no adverse or surprising behaviors;
2. There is negligible performance impact;
3. There is a demonstrated benefit;

I've only done so much work testing each of these
assertions, and I'd of course be interested in hearing
(concrete) objections.
