I don't feel strongly either way.  You can always request a code point assignment from IANA without publishing an RFC, and experience suggests we're unlikely to run out of code points.  (If we do, we revive the EXTENDED frame that contains a sub-type field and a payload defined by the sub-type.)  However, there is value in being able to do some initial tests without registering a codepoint.

This can be done, as Kazuho suggests, either by advertising a setting or by allowing super-high codepoints for private use.

I suspect the technical merits of either will ultimately prove irrelevant and this will wash whichever direction "varint all the things" goes.
