In manual pages, always use "\ " and never use "\~", period.
The former is portable and the latter is a GNU extension.

I think you are massively overthinking this and the whole SI
argument is irrelevent for manual pages. While the above concern
about robustness is minor, too (both groff and mandoc support \~),
portability is still significantly more important than such minute
typographical details.
Yours,
Ingo
