I probably would. :)

* xref-completion-ignore-case, default t;

* creating something that applies to both completions and
    find-definition (I didn't save the patch, but my vague
    recollection is that it just defaulted to using t for
    completions).

Not sure what this means, need details.

The first was a variable that only affects completions.

The second controls both completions and what xref-find-definitions
matches, so either both would allow case folding or both would not.

The second option is something to consider indeed. Since we don't require a match during completion, the user can enter a string that would have completions, but gets no case-sensitive matches.

We can do that without an extra variable, though, by making definitions search be controlled by completion-ignore-case.
