I’d bring it up with my safety department for them to run up the chain, but I fear I’d be asked if...

There is consensus. The non-US pilots just don’t accept it.

I think some people are overthinking it. Set an altitude that you think is reasonable. If they give you something else, set that altitude. If your guess is wrong, you don’t lose any points.

From a pilot's perspective?

Lower fuel burn
Slightly higher climb rate (A321)

The biggest difference is that there's no longer anywhere to store your phone. Not much else to speak of.
