      Similarly, Transient Mark mode works very well (due to years
    of Emacs hackers turning it on in their own init files), and provides
    a real benefit to new users (direct visual feedback).

It is a total pain in the neck unless mark-even-if-inactive is t.

If you are considering a drasticly incompatble change, discussing it
on this list is not enough.  You should poll the users first.  Polling
the users means making an announcement on info-gnu-emacs and
help-gnu-emacs, asking people to try the feature and say what they
think.
