Hmm, that is the last major feature that Hiroshi was working on before he
had to move on. How broken is it in reality? I'm loathe to remove it if it's
just the few remaining issues that he would have probably fixed in a fairly
short time anyway.

OK.

Of course. Another one to consider is whether or not there is anything to
gain from client side prepare. The eventual aim is to use Pqprepare and
PQexecPrepared of course, but I wonder if there is any short term gain in
simplicity to be had by removing the client side code sooner rather than
later.
