I appreciate the move, just my 2cents:
Most arguments against opt-out are obvious as well as those for opt-in(so I am not gonna repeat that here rn),
as for now I would just encourage you to approach it a little more slowly.
I.e. first only put it into unstable/testing, before instantly dropping it this year on stable. So that if further backlash arises it can be addressed and it doesn’t fell rushed.
In addition maybe don’t enable the “full” set of telemetry at the start, as it could be too sensitive or if bugs appear etc. just in case.
