No, I'm saying performance itself shouldn't sway the decision in this case one way or another. Other means to improve it exist.

But it's not just performance.  For example, in this particular project,
it makes sense, by default, to grep the superproject, but C-x f in the
subprojects.  Lack of subproject support in project.el means I have to
work around this with defadvice.

Perhaps in your particular project it makes sense. Most of the users I see in this thread seem to prefer it otherwise in their projects.

So that seems to indicate that the Eglot fix and the subprojects thing should be separate, implemented without tying one to the other.

If you have more things to say about the subprojects feature requests, BTW, please go ahead with 'M-x report-emacs-bug'. We'll need a more detailed description to decide whether to go ahead with it and how.
