I understand. I thought the advantages would mitigate the drawbacks. In
any case, I'd rather have a solution, active by default, and a way to
disable it than no solution at all.

Exactly. Ideally, the chosen solution could be applied to
sub/superscripts too.

Thank you. However, if I eval this in an Org buffer, the new line is
properly inserted but nothing happens when point goes past the link.

Am I missing something?

Also, it doesn't seem to understand Org syntax, i.e., any "]]" would be
prettified, even if they do not belong to an Org link.
