I'd completely agree with your appraisal here. Personally, I prefer to use just the SPDX license headers. I imagine that, in some cases, having both could be confusing - for example, if someone copied the standard license header for the GPLv3 "or (at your option) any later version", but also wrote SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0-only at the top of the file. Of course, if anyone does want to use both, the standard license header text will still be on the SPDX License List website.
