Now that we have __STATICREDIRECT__, do we still need the checkbox on every move? The complexity difference on Special:MovePage between three checkboxes and two, or four and three, is substantial, and we shouldn't have the extra one if it's not warranted.

I would say yes. __STATICREDIRECT__ is for a page that should never be updated, regardless of what DoubleRedirectJob thinks. The checkbox allows you to not update redirects for a particular move, if you have some (god knows why) reason for wanting to leave double redirects in place.
The former affects one page, the latter affects all redirects affected by a page move.
