I would only make indy the default if we have performance tests showing that it's as fast as, or better than the legacy call site caching, with JDK 8+. There's a "performance" submodule that we could use for that purpose too. As far as I remember, not too far away, there were quite a few cases where indy was slower, in particular when primitive types are involved, even on JDK 8. If we are faster, then it's obviously a big +1, but we shouldn't speculate here.
