There has been a thread on emacs-devel recently on that:
https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/16da6ae7-66d8-fc43-cb84-6d104d3a2ef8@mavit.org.uk/
plus my opinion:
https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/4d18a051-07d5-fba7-1c36-ae2eb72bf71c@vodafonemail.de/
which still holds.
But I can see your points, of course.
cperl-mode already has some big-config-sweep-knobs, like it seems
(`cperl-hairy'). It would certainly be nice to also have some
"make-things-work-like-in-perl-mode-but-sans-its-bugs" knob if it came
to obsoleting perl-mode. For me, the most important things to cover
here would be a nearly-identical look-and-feel for indentation and
syntax highlighting.
One could even imagine to flip that knob automatically when `cperl-mode'
gets started as `perl-mode'.

+1, with the same restrictions on indentation and syntax highlighting.
After 25+ years of using one mode you just get so used to its
look-and-feel.
