I definitely think that until the feature is fixed properly (T177707 at least; there's probably more that can/should be done), we should be disabling it everywhere based on what has been suggested in T177702
On those grounds alone, that is good enough. Anyone that "relies" on the feature; well, unfortunately, it's a case of tough. Security and performance are generally accepted reasons to break features like this if they're causing (or have the potential to cause) bigger problems.
The original patch (after being fixed) was enough to stem the immediate problem, letting @jcrespo confirm that the fix has the intended consequences (stopping all the rows entering the recentchanges table; as done in batches, it's not immediately possible to tell)
I think we should go ahead and deploy this, and then when an appropriate fix is in place, slowly roll the feature back out to various wikis, to test the impact
