Having console switching in interrupt context was horrible... I would much rather have the 'odd' slightly delayed console switch than drop stuff or have sound jitter every time I switch console (which sucks badly).
Under even fairly heavy load here it's not a problem, what problems does the new bahaviour create (sorry, a fork bomb is a silly example). With a load-average of over 20 its still responsive.
