I prefer keeping code in master. That way, it's easily maintained and
distributed automatically. There's very little downside: nobody is going
to miss a few tens of kilobytes of compiled elisp.

I see no need to flake off useful parts of Emacs and put them into ELPA
when the core is not resource-constrained.
For me, using ELPA packages is a bit more awkward, since I don't use
package.el and pull in the bits of ELPA I want manually. If your package
is only in ELPA, I probably won't hear about it, and unless it's
particularly compelling, I won't use it.
