Well, I don't see any serious shortcomings, but I found a minor problem: "texi2any --info" still use the convention of backtick ` and straight single quote ' to emulate curly quotes =E2=80=9C =E2=80=9D or =E2=80=98 =E2= =80=99. It also use other ASCII kludge such as =3D> instead of =E2=87=92. Emacs itself support Unico= de several years ago, what about replacing these characters? At least add a switch to texi2any.
