Already on v2 I did ask
"I'm not fully convinced of this removal: Does it get in the way of
anything?"
I have no record of getting reply, so I'm still wondering.

I don't consider this any better than what you had originally: Then
you've removed everything inside the #ifdef as well. Now you keep
it and drop just the #ifdef, exposing the field universally (as long
as XSM is set) despite Flask's 32-bit only field being enough for
all practical purposes.
What is there demonstrates what the original intentions were. It's
easy enough to put back if needed in the future, but I think it's
even easier to simply leave as is.
