I will always have a "knee-jerk" response to opt-out or mandatory telemetry or any other outbound connections I did not ask for being initiated automatically. In a corporate world I would have to block this and depending on what the telemetry is connecting to that could impact other outbound connections leading to contention without the org.
One of the optimal ways to do this would be to opt-in by setting an environment variable to enabled any combination of extra debugging, telemetry, stats, etc... Perhaps even different end-points using environment variables.
