Rationale on why that is significantly better than the current scenario that
already provides those links to incur the costs I mentioned above and again
below.

If we use the special page redirects, that makes the client make two requests
to just get to the page rather than the current one.

Additionally, that breaks the fact that if your userpage/talk page doesn't
exist it shows as a red link. Using redirects will force blue links.
