Like I said earlier: if React ends up wanting to use ext/request, with its
tradeoffs, of course I would think that's great. But if they want to keep using
what they have already, with its own tradeoffs, that's great too.

This is very similar to what I'm saying: to use your phrasing, I opine it is
better to "trivially wrap" the existing PHP functionality as part of a separate
RFC, rather than try to embed it in ServerRequest (exposed or otherwise).
To reiterate what I've said before: this RFC is a relatively conservative one.
The vision around it is to stay pretty close to PHP as-it-is, and to
incorporate those things from the researched implementations that show up over
and over again.
I know that does not lead quickly toward (what I surmise is) your vision of
overhauling how PHP presents global state, but an overhaul of that kind is just
not what this RFC aims to do.
