I'm proposing some changes to use it only on login. Thus greatly reducing the
email -> username disclosure surface, and slowly getting acceptable for
upstream.

As far as the failure doesn't show the account as existing (ie. «There is no
user account with that email or the provided password is wrong»), it could go
in.

OTOH, we could not make it available for the username field of «forgotten
password». We can't reveal if random emails exist or not.
