> the presence of PUA code points when a non-PUA code point is available.

Will this result in two byte sequences (two-byte and four-byte) decoding to the same code point for some code points?

Will the PUA code points that previously had two-byte representations be left without a representation?

(I have doubts that changing what a legacy encoding means at this point is a net positive change even if well-intentioned.)
