I'd prefer something more subtle but as a more lateral thinking approach
this is going in the right direction.

I like that.
One disadvantage is that it wouldn't be compatible with the new feature
of highlighting pasted text; at least not having the highlighting
removed on the next action.
What would you use for the parser status that you get with %^ or %_?
The pasted text might leave an open parser status or might not.
Another disadvantage is that PS2 in general is irritating for the
fact that it restarts zle and push-line-or-edit tricks are needed on
up-cursor to allow editing the prebuffer.
As an aside, I recommend an empty $PS2 and transient_rprompt for RPS2
so the PS2 prompt doesn't get in the way of attempts to copy multi-line
commands with the mouse.
