I agree with Vesa, I think having a separate tempo track will surely have
benefits.

trouble than it's worth, to me...

tempo track, creating a tempo automation is as simple as clicking the tempo
track on an empty spot, and the created pattern would automatically already
be connected to tempo (since any pattern on tempo track can only be
connected to tempo, there's no reason not to create them pre-connected).

complain, sure - because some people will *always* complain about *any*
change, no matter what it is. There were people who complained about the
new default theme. There will be people who will complain about the new fx
mixer. No matter what the change is, someone IS going to complain, with
100% certainty, no matter how good a change is, there's always at least one
person who thinks it ruins everything forever...
