Written like a historian. He never spells out what the "perils" are.
Veering from critical editions is not perilous, it's how halakhah
evolves. The question is whether the kavanah added by the reference
to the pasuq in Yechezqeil justifies such evolution.

Unless one can specify a real cost, I don't see the problem he wants us
to avoid.

The idea that "yisgadeil veyisqadeish" was the practice of the Gra
was accepted by the Mishnah Berurah. Which is actually more relevant
than who among people who we usually do not attribute such authority
was the first to suggest it.

Tir'u baTov!
