Question: what's logging like for this? Are there public logs? Even just "User:So-and-so disabled bits Z, Y, and X of revision W, article [[Blah blah]]" would be very beneficial to have in the public eye, IMO.

It would make more sense to do this on an as-needed basis, since it's not clear what level of oversight is required for any given oversight.
Thus the old ones need to be ported to "fully hidden" status.
It's best to be cautious here, and to avoiding fixing issues that a) may cause more problems, and b) don't actually exist yet, and may never come up.
The issue of transparency is a perpetual one, not one might or might not come up in the future. It would be of immediate and definite value for everyone to be assured that there are no longer any edits made in the past that have been completely hidden from everyone except an elite few, on a community-run encyclopedia that anyone in the world can participate in.
