Yes, that's exactly what I meant.  Thanks for reading my mind :-D

Only when EV is _not_ available and used is there a benefit of having 
Async::Interrupt available.

...but then again, that means for the cases of explicitly using a 
different backend it is beneficial to have Async::Interrupt available.

So yes, I think it is best to plain recommend each of them - even if 
Async::Interrupt won't actually be _used_ "in most cases".
