I don't have the expertise to opinion on this. But AFAICT most terminals that people still use[1] will self-report as xterm or xterm-256color so they'll only use the xterm escape sequences anyway. [1] kitty is a notable exception. But it's rarely supported on preinstalled terminfo's, and manually adding them to all the remote servers that you access is a PITA.
