So it should be pretty obvious for those even not very much skilled with that art that this entire discussion is a classic red herring and it should be stopped and archived ASAP.

On the other hand, SR-TE has evolved as a quite different approach from the distributed RSVP-TE architecture -- something that makes it very attractive as a replacement for RSVP-TE in our application.

It would hinder it, I fear, because it might go from being one of the things that really fulfills the promise of SR to being an uncomfortable step-child of a broader traffic engineering effort.

There is a growing interest to have a mechanism that operates at the forwarding plane level using source routing as an alternative to a dedicated service overlay. This will surely generate other related work such as automated service discovery, inter-domain chaining policies, parallelism versus sequential chaining, various control-plane implementations, etc.

Opportunities like, intent translation to SR policies, Policy requests or announcements between domains and host (probably app) level TE policy requests (e.g. how can an app receive a proper policy based on its requirements) ?
