What research have you done on this matter other than this post? Is there a written record of you thinking about the trade offs in a longer format?

No one can tell you what's worth thinking about. You'll have to decide that for yourself by doing the actual research and then presenting your results for discussion. Other than your questions I didn't see any actual research or summaries of research that would be useful for a discussion.
