Until the project has such an expert consultant, wouldn't asking the
emacs community be a better way to decide such issues? E.g. running
a vote on /r/emacs.
No, because offering an opt-in behavior is a better way of letting
users to try the feature.
Perhaps these two actions can be combined?
How would you propose to combine them?

We add the option, announce it, and in 2-4 weeks ask people for their
opinion based on their experience with the changed UI.

I don't see how this is different from offering an opt-in behavior, so
I'm okay with this.

Simply saying "let's make it opt-in" closes the door on the discussion of the subsequent change of the default, which is often what reporters care about in discussions like this.

But if we say "let's make it opt-in then discuss the change later", that has a higher chance of making both sides happier. And helps us gather feedback backed by some usage experience.
