Yes, I did choose this way by the nature of my paint application.
Potentially recording all strokes etc. could consume also some amount of memory,
and maybe make the usage-experience tacky.
On charts etc, I also would redraw, and the data "is there".
I have another app where I need to implement that other method too.

I completely agree :)
Though setting the persistent GL/SG flags is very helpful "to get it running"
after the change over, I would suggest that applications try to avoid it when
possible.
For the case of Canvas, the problem arises if the application uses
Canvas.FramebufferObject AND relies on the contents of the canvas not being
cleared between calls to Canvas.onPaint. It should be a pretty rare scenario.
However, for this specific scenario, there is no good alternative, so it is the
tool of choice.
