You have mostly convinced me.  I also see the patch developed further in
the mean time.

When the eglot-{current-,move-to-}column-functions will be removed, the
users won't be able to adjust the behavior of Eglot to cope with
defective servers.  However, this adds complexity for the sake of an
unlikely hypothetical case.  So now I agree with you that this is
unnecessary.  Thanks.
