Yes.
I never, ever, want to turn a regular text line into a headline. OTOH
during note taking, I very often write paragraphs and, afterwards,
decide to split them into sections.
Moreover, AFAICT, there's no more difference between C-u M-RET, which
meant "create headline right here" and M-RET.

That's what I do. But that's not optimal and it introduces another
problem. In the following example
* H
XText
I want to create a headline above "Text" and point is at "X". I use C-o
M-RET and the latter greedily eat the blank line above, resulting in
* H
* X
Text
as if I had typed C-p M-RET instead.
Again, I have `org-blank-before-new-entry' set to `auto' for headlines.
Since there is no information about how many blank lines I usually want
before headlines, I think the algorithm should trust me and do not
remove any blank lines (see `org-list-separating-blank-lines-number').
In the same vein, in the following situation
* H1
Text1
* H2
XText2
C-o M-RET should leave blank above "Text2" because it has information
about my preferences.
Oddly, in an empty buffer, it will create a blank line above.

It does, sorry about the noise.

Well same as above: I think it eats blank lines where it shouldn't. It
the following cases:
* H1
** H2
H
X
and
* H1
* H2
H
X
I don't think there's any reason for M-RET to eat blank line before
point with either `org-blank-before-new-entry' set to `auto' or t. It
should know that a blank line is expected before the new entry and
therefore should create the headline at point.

That's simple. You can use the following pattern:
(ert-deftest test-org/insert-heading ()
"Test specifications for heading insertion."
;; In an empty buffer, headline should be created at its beginning,
;; notwithstanding value for `org-blank-before-new-entry'.
(should
(equal "* "
(org-test-with-temp-text ""
(let ((org-blank-before-new-entry '((heading . nil))))
(org-insert-heading))
(buffer-string))))
(should
(equal "* "
(org-test-with-temp-text ""
(let ((org-blank-before-new-entry '((heading . t))))
(org-insert-heading))
(buffer-string))))
(should
(equal "* "
(org-test-with-temp-text ""
(let ((org-blank-before-new-entry '((heading . auto))))
(org-insert-heading))
(buffer-string))))
;; At the end of a single headline: Create headline below, following
;; `org-blank-before-new-entry' specifications. When it is `auto',
;; since there's not enough information to deduce what is expected,
;; create it just below.
(should
(equal "* H\n* "
(org-test-with-temp-text "* H"
(end-of-line)
(let ((org-blank-before-new-entry '((heading . nil))))
(org-insert-heading))
(buffer-string))))
(should
(equal "* H\n\n* "
(org-test-with-temp-text "* H"
(end-of-line)
(let ((org-blank-before-new-entry '((heading . t))))
(org-insert-heading))
(buffer-string))))
(should
(equal "* H\n* "
(org-test-with-temp-text "* H"
(end-of-line)
(let ((org-blank-before-new-entry '((heading . auto))))
(org-insert-heading))
(buffer-string))))
;; Etc.
)
I suggest to always put the `should' (or `should-not', `should-error')
outside each test: it makes it easier to inspect results from partial
evaluations.
You run each test individually with C-x C-e at the end of the `should'
sexp. You run all tests with "make test" from "org/" directory.
