It wasn't apparent, but I actually agree with you that slippery slope arguments are (usually) a bad idea.  Like the implicit, distributed slippery slope argument that went "Wikipedia links -> openplaques links -> War and Peace."

This is not a debating forum but feature requests count as issues (or so I thought).  If feature requests are dismissed for what the requester feels are poorly-considered reasons, should the requester stay silent?

Turning openplaques:id into a link would permit the deprecation of inscription=* being used with plaques that are suitable candidates for openplaques (not all are).  Which seems to be a reason why those who think inscriptions ought not to be in the database would support making openplaques:id a link rather than fight it.
