In my experience tramp is _much_ slower than even ange-ftp (in all ways,
but especially establishing connections).  I think this severely limits
its utility for general use, and potential audience.

Because of this I think the hostname (etc) completion are something that
probably don't really matter very much to most users (and I suppose may
even confuse those not expecting them -- I don't known the full list of
syntaxes which trigger them), and thus that it would be fine to enable
them only if tramp has been loaded (or enabled or whatever).
