Yes, and that's misguided, at least for the reason you give.

Exactly. Plus ‘x-show-tip’ works across Emacs versions.
It is preferable, IMO.

Yes. Just do it.
When Emacs wants to steer users away from X toward Y, especially
because the name X is misleading (e.g. `x-<something'), it had
better make sure that Y is really an adequate replacement for X.
