It does vibrate on notifications still, right?
I'd be willing to guess users who have vibrate turned off as well are a very small percentage.

Edit: BTW the described idea probably wouldn't work with my Apple watch setup, because it seems there can be some latency between the iPhone and the watch with respect to notifications. I wouldn't want to get a vibration on the watch then be wondering for a few seconds "when is something going to pop up on my phone?" I realize technically the notification comes to the phone first under the hood... but where it is displayed first is a matter of programming.
Having seen how often the bluetooth/wifi calling and messaging fails b/w my iPhone and Mac, I decided against trying an Apple Watch. Is it any better?
Sometimes I have to turn on sound on the phone for things like Waze or for playing videos or music. But the ringer stays off (due to settings).
The connection with the iPhone and Mac seems fine. However, with my watch (1st generation) a couple of updates ago the lost phone ping feature got a new unwelcome degree of latency. It can now take up to 30 seconds for the phone to ping, where it used to be immediate. I don't know if this is the case for newer models. Nor could I say whether the problem is on the watch side, or the phone side (doesn't matter, I guess). But at least it still works.
Not all - I'd say that probably 80% of them are only allowed to show the banner with no sound or vibrate. Perfect example just arrived - Patreon. Handy to see the banner/lock screen because it's normally a new video to watch but it's nowhere near important enough to distract me.
