These examples sound like XS code exploiting undocumented or internal features, without being widely used.
Manipulating the OP Tree? Does really anyone seriously use B::Generate ? I'd be interested to see official API which would break with signatures I can't see how 3rd party modules like Function::Parameters break XS code while implementing most of Perl6 semantics.* It's a matter of management to introduce an experimental feature and give module maintainers exploiting undocumented stuff a time span to fix their code (or not). The benefits of decent signatures outweighs any possible damage. And not all modules are as important as JSON::XS and not all maintainers are reluctant to improvement like Schmorp is. I hope you see my point.
Cheers Rolf
*) and it might be worth checking if cperl's implementation of signatures broke any official XS API. In reply to Re^13: Curious about Perl's strengths in 2018
