I don't mind, but are we going to hunt down every slow-loading package
and add a message to them as well?

Why not the other way around: re-enable the "Loading..." messages by
default and introduce a variable to suppress it?  Then Lisp code that
needed this to be turned off (something with timers, IIUC) could
simply bind that variable to an appropriate value when doing its
thing.
