Would this have any impact on those downloading the binaries
(as opposed to those compiling from source)?   In particular, if
someone has a relatively old configuration, would the 5.5 binaries
still work (assuming the existing binaries do)?

As far as I can tell, most of the changes you describe are really
relevant to those compiling the source.   It doesn't sound as if
this change should be noticable to those simply using the binaries.
In which case, this seems a perfectly reasonable (and safe) change.

I'd agree.   The less in the way of pre-requisite packages, the better.
