I think that the header's information could be subject to change or, let's
say, integration (like adding some missing information). The header was
introduced to simplify this and having the ability to record data not
strictly related to the request (subject).

Indeed I understand your point but I would recommend to sign only what is
really needed to be signed thus signing only the body.
