FWIW, the longer you use the ephemeral key, the higher the chance that it will be leaked. And leaking ephemeral keys can actually lead to disasters for security. So this change is actually protecting potential disasters from happening.
I believe implementations and deployment that make reasonable use of key
share reuse (which I believe the earlier discussion acknowledged) [...]

I think "reasonable" is the key word here. Maybe we should discuss precisely what is the /reasonable/ use of key share reuse for (EC-)DHE (for example)?
