This sounds like a good plan, Ben. IIUC, we're committing to support all our ESRs for a year, so anything we can do to make uplifts easier is sensible.
Till brings up a good point about folks on older platforms, but it's likely they'll already have a degraded experience on many sites. I expect future platform APIs to be built on service workers, too; background sync is one current example. Even if we did enable service workers and push in ESR 52, it won't be realistic to backport all new APIs, so older releases still won't be able to take advantage of them.
