Adding a dependency can cause unintended side effects. For example, users may now (directly or indirectly) pull in a package that conflicts with something else they have installed. Have you looked for these? Does the alternative provided definitely cover all cases?

Could this therefore cause user behaviour to change as a higher priority backend is dropped in? Again, has this been analysed?

It might all be fine, but these are the sorts of things that I think need documented analysis in the "What could go wrong" section.
