Legally signing /M is only legal if you are in England or one of the countries that uses the M prefix. It is readily accepted as Mobile but is not a legal designator. I am not sure that most of the ones you listed are legal IARU or ITU call designators. This could vary from country to country.
Sending /qrp just takes up more time and adds more difficulty when signals are very very weak. I also agree that those making contacts with QRP stations should be getting the bonuses for doing most of the work not the other way around.
