So what will the Touch do with a 24/192 stream? It doesn't have the
horsepower to downsample. And as you say, what about playing 24/96 on an
SB3 from SqueezeboxServer Light running on a Touch, which can't run
SOX?

Lots of non-geek users are going to run a Touch with SBS-Lite. They are
clearly a major slice of who the new products are aimed at. And they
might well buy some 24/96 stuff online. So when they connect up that
used SB3 they got as a bargain on eBay and their 96kHz files fail to
play, they're going to be confused/miffed. Don't expect them to do the
necessary research to find out they need to perform a one-off downsample
to 48kHz using a separate PC.

I predict that the only practical solution to this issue is the
reintroduction of the "drop every other sample" firmware kludge - not
only on the SB3, but also on the Touch for 192kHz material.
