My two cents: It this was available together with a CI that would run
'perf test' + 'make -C tools/perf build-test' and any other set of
tests, that would be great.

But not having it also has an advantage: no lockstep development,
tooling should gracefully work with whatever is available.

I say this because it is a really common theme, even Debian had a
packaging scheme that shoehorned (forcefully fused?) perf's and the
kernel's version :-\
