I failed to make up my mind if it's helpful for the

Bugzilla users (reporters, testers, triagers, developers, managers) or
if it might clutter the Comments view too much for some people, so I
kept it as an opt-in setting.
I'm happy to revise but don't know how I could find out. :)
Same for how much it affects performance.
However, the code has a threshold to not display changes inline for a
bug report if there are more than 500 changes to the report.

Definitely something that should be visible to everyone; without it,
users are completely dependent on people saying what they've done in
their comments to understand what's going on, and people often don't do
that.
So someone might only say why they did something without saying what it
is (and why should they have to?), or change something without
commenting at all, sometimes causing the change to go unnoticed entirely
(even when it's important) or causing previous/subsequent comments to
not make sense because of the missing context...
If it is cluttering things, there's also a good chance there's something
problematic going on with the bug anyhow, so people should see that so
they can address it.
So yeah, helpful for the majority, I'd say.
