That's reassuring, thanks.

This should work. I've seen it done in other production tools without any ill effect.

The dict can be replaced during init() and still get benefits of key-sharing. That benefit is lost only when the instance dict keys are modified downstream from init(). So, from a dict size point of view, your optimization is fine. Still, you should look at whether this would affect static type checkers, lint tools, and other tooling.
