This fuzzer has already uncovered a few llvm bugs, so I hope it can be useful directly. 
But more than that, I hope that a ready-to-use integration with structure-aware fuzzing will allow other researchers to experiment. 
Having it as a side patch (bit-rotten in a few weeks after creation) will discourage most of the potential researchers from experiments.

I agree we don't want to bring heavy deps to LLVM, but this patch (AFAICT) doesn't bring any new deps to the default build. (at least this is the intent)
