I basically agree. On my my main system, I usually build mesalib from a 
git checkout, and actually disable the triggers while doing this.
I in some cases I then manually recast xorg-server.

So yes , we need to rethink the mesalib UP_TRIGGERS, espcialy since 
mesalib-12.0 is about to land.
I actually use it already.
