This and the question what might break for well-behaved programs by
adding these patches is what still keeps me from applying the patches.

IMO we shouldn't present the mxing of dynamic and static binaries as a
usable way.  Everybody should use dynamic binaries, only in very
special cases it might be desirable to rely on this feature.
