With this in place the bottlenecks have to move to things like network, block serialization, validation parallelism overheads… Development time would be better spent on optimizing those...

Core has some work to do.

I find skipping amount validation more concerning (potential inflation bugs)

It’s basically free so it should do that for sure. That said, there are so many lost/abandoned coins that if miners (with developer collusion) create a chain that unjustly rewards them, they’ll just steal coins rather than inflate.

And seems to be willing to accept broken validation to get there. https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/swiftsync-speeding-up-ibd-with-pre-generated-hints-poc/1562/15
