So I don't suggest to en.wp stop checkuser but use it more seriously. Just block an IP or recently created vandal account unilaterally if you think it's a sock puppet without investigating deeper (hey you're admin you have to *be bold* sometimes) and only perform a checkuser afterwards in case there was a real demand from several third persons.
That way you also avoid creating a large bueraucracy on blocking of small fishes like IPs and short lived accounts and have more time for far more important matters.
I really think you should refrain from commenting on how checkuser should be used on en.wp when you clearly don't have any real information about how we currently use it or even our own policies on the matter. You're not even subscribed to the checkuser list.
