Analogously speaking, isn’t --without-x-toolkit just an option
to circumvent Gtk-related bugs?

Why not?
Diff-wise, the difference is two lines only: one in defcustom,
to allow for an integer value for the option; the other in
execute-extended-command--shorter, to replace the currently
magic 5.
That said, I’m fine with doing it either way.
