It was OK as one local compromise, but I don't think it's OK as door
opening to create unlimited number of options that modify any language
behavior in any file and fragment the language. One switch is two
options, not ideal but manageable. 10 switches is 1024 options. Not
nearly manageable.

I am not sure what "success" is there - is there any evidence of strict
mode being widely embraced by companies with large legacy code base? By
large frameworks used by thousands or millions, and successfully
deployed and maintained in mixed settings environments?

I think I agree - it's a bit early to proclaim "success". There's no
visible disaster (that I think would result from pushing through
all-strict mode without BC provisions) but I am not sure what base for
proclaiming triumph there is.
