Spare keys are much better, but there are none on old keyboards. I also do not think it is very confusing, as it simple is the AltGr key with the shift key as modifier. E+shift is something different to shift+E, too. And as AltGr+Shift+<anything> is not bound to any meaning at all, there is nothing it could be confused too. Breaking the Shift-AltGr key as multikey is a major hassle, as suprisingly many people rely on it. I do not think it is sensible to make something an option instead of the default that many people rely on (so this is already a FAQ), while people not wanting it are unlikely to even notice it is activated.
