Regarding that conversions in the RTL (or LCL) are a rather seldom runtime-task, GUI performance issues are not really necessary to be considered.
Viable issues seem to be Delphi compatibility, backward compatibility, usability, runtime-performance with time consuming complex string tasks (these seem to vote against UTF8, but for either static UTF 16 or (quasi-) dynamical (CE-alike) encoding; and memory usage and runtime-performance with time consuming simple string tasks (which vote for locale-based ANSI or UTF-8).
