it has not been a complete game changer
I think that's the crux of any argument, where the bar for introducing unknown unknowns is.
Since it hasn't been a game changer, resulting in lukewarm adoption at best so far, proponents got it through on pure speculation and hype rather than substance and that is a very dangerous precedent.

Yes, I agree with the argument and different people will have a different tolerance here. Some things are hard to predict and take time to mature.
My guess would be that in 2 years from now there will be much wider taproot adoption with at least 2 notably taproot-only beneficial usecases being deployed and used. At that point, if that happens, I would vote YES.

So are you of the opinion we should continue making changes Bitcoin, introduce new unknown unknowns, based on these speculative feels?
Or do you concede that it was a mistake to activate Taproot based on guesses and chance?

I would be in favor of making another change that had similar uncertainty as taproot. I think that's around where my bar is.
