I was more curious about the existence of music that's strictly in 3/4 time and where the way of printing a three-quaver pickup would actually make a difference.

There are hardly such cases before 1900, and that’s exactly why the convention changed. It’s a bit like with beaming in vocal music: pre-1900 music would rarely get so rhythmically complicated that having no beams on syllabic music would have been a problem. Such situations only came up later, so another notational convention was introduced.
