Not only I don't think that this is true, but I don't even know exactly
what it means (IOW, yes it's probably true for some interpretation of
it, but not for others).

I don't see this evidence.

expand-abbrev also can be extensive changes during self-insert-command,
and so can the auto-fill-function.

If you use electric-layout-mode and electric-pair-mode, then all that's
left for c-electric-brace is to call self-insert-command.
And indeed, I hope in the future that the { and } bindings will simply
be removed from CC-mode.

I understand that there's a transition needed between these two and this
intermediate state can require more work, but it's important to keep the
long term goal in mind when designing the current solution.
