Is there an official stance on using hook_schema_alter to add columns
to core tables? For example, we collect additional data on anonymous
comments and want to actually save that data. Rather than creating
another table (and subsequent JOINs), I'd just as soon stuff that data
into the comments table, where it belongs. Should we ever disable
comments (unlikely), we probably wouldn't mind losing that data too.

I would say, create a new table instead of populating core one.
I would create a new table as well. The problem with modifying the core
table is you never know if there will be a column added to it that
matches a name you've chosen and if you add prefixes/suffixes to help
namespace the column it becomes annoyingly long.
