Very well put, and exactly my thoughts.

Also, let's assume eglot-x.el makes it to GNU ELPA as is
being proposed in a side thread here. Then, that new
package will depend on Eglot.  And thus simply M-x
package-install RET eglot-x will also rev up Eglot, the :core
package to the latest version -- on any Emacs version.  That
will be another "trick".  In fact if eglot-x gains popularity
and is minimally useful, we might as well start recommending
that people ask for eglot-x as a means to upgrade Eglot itself.
