Problem is that without rt_run_flush new routes and route attribute changes don't get used by the stack. If RCU takes long and routes keep changing this might be a big issue.
As a admin I would be certainly annoyed if the network stack ignored my new route for some unbounded time.
Perhaps a better way would be to just exclude dst entries in RCU state from the normal accounting and assume that if the system really runs short of memory because of this the results would trigger quiescent states more quickly, freeing the memory again.
