Hello, yes it still is to us, we are using this in our fork. I didn't have time to address the comments. and I would need some time also to get back into it, understanding the specifics and how to refactor this.

The real-life context that made this optimization necessary:

- Windows x64 target, with EH enabled
- a large function with many blocks, most of which contained local variables often with small gaps between them due to alignment etc. (it was a catch2 framework  unittest, where a `TEST_CASE` contained a big hierarchy `SECTION`)

With EH enabled, a large number of cleanup pads were generated, causing a lot of variables deinitialization code.
Having small gaps between variables, the shadow poisoning would be split into many inlined parts

The result was very large code size output by asan (>100MB object files), most of which was poisoning code.
