This seems a reasonable consideration, but doesn’t change my desire to experiment with having the new feature, since there are potential benefits that could outweigh the downside that you describe. (Not sure if you meant to indicate an overall disagreement, or just want to point out this additional consideration.) And if the downside turns out to be a significant issue, it could be ameliorated by clarifying that “I plan to reply later” should be interpreted not as a commitment but just indication of current state of mind.
I also have a strong personal rule against making public time-bound commitments unless I need to. I generally regret it because unexpected things come up and I feel guilty about not replying in the time frame I thought I would.
I might be inclined to hit a button that says “I hope to respond further to this”.
