To get the same benefits (jit and such) wouldn't it be better to introduce
a "use function root;" or similar statement or a declare() to specify this
file imports all root functions?

I am with stas that this will go towards a huge BC break if the deprecation
was acted on at any time in the future. and in addition people will silence
the notices on global error reporting level, because violations would
happen on a massive scale, inclusing the cost of them being raised dragging
performance down. This will be a problem since other notices will go
unnoticed.
