I'm always a bit (too) cautious when it comes to turning of 'security'
related 'features' (even if mostly doubting that taint-mode fits either of
those 2 categories) - so not sure about disabling it in general

the taint of the some of the run_command output on the other hand was
introduced as a side-effect with the changes last year afaict, and has
caused at least 2 glitches since then...
