Any severe side effects so far? Have you set PATH up somehow so it is effect only on interactive prompt, and not in the launched processes?

Because I cannot imagine much 3rd party scripts working with random flags added to core tools

I also do this.

Random flags added to core tools are done with aliases, which do not affect the launched processes, not by shadowing them in ~/bin. Shadowing in ~/bin are for cases where a newer (compared to the system-wide version) or custom version of a tool is needed.
