Could you comment on the user-facing features that would no longer work
with such "visibly wrong" translated-from-other-formats Info manuals?
I.e., what would be the user-observable breakage if one were to, say,
convert sphinx-generated documentation into Info format?

Whether it would still be useful to do this would depend on how severely
broken the resulting Info format is.
