It seems to me that there are several reasons someone may choose not to
use substitutes. Some of those reasons (reproducibility and security
concerns) are obviated for fixed-output derivations like upstream
sources, and I think it would be fine to still use substitutes for these
derivations.

But the motivations of privacy, self-sufficiency, etc are not addressed
by that idea.
