At least for e2fsck-static, it's not that hard to keep building it, and as a percentage of the size of the full Debian repository, it's not a big deal.
If we're worried about size in bytes, it probably makes more sense to try to get dynamically linked go and rust binaries, each of which is often an order of magnitude larger than the 2MB of busybox-static.
(People have already remarked how useful these static utilities can be in tight/recovery/accidental situations.) Antonio
