I think almost every proposal to add a hook results in some discussion
about how usable the hook will be and whether it's being put in the
correct place and called with the correct arguments.

I think that's a good thing, too. Otherwise the code would be
cluttered with a bunch of hooks that seemed to someone like a good
idea at the time but are actually just a maintenance headache.
