It's easy for one sysadmin to run a few commands in a terminal. It's not easy for hundreds of students, e.g. 5-10 years old, to run a few commands in a terminal. Sysadmins (or packagers) can provide a system-wide override with /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/20_metacity.override but that will only work with new users. They can provide overrides for all users with mandatory gsettings. But the /usr/local/bin/metacity wrapper can have logic to active or deactivate compositing per user, or per machine, based on the CPU, the graphics card etc etc, and it's very easy to integrate it with LTSP. Anyway that part isn't important; the most important thing is if the non-compositing case will be a supported use case in Ubuntu gnome-flashback 16.04 or not. I'll do some more benchmarks with gnome-flashback and with other DEs like Mate/XFCE/LXDE.
