It is loss of functionality, but I very much doubt anyone is depending
on it -- it's way too elaborate. +1 on doing the simpler report if it's
too expensive to build the full report.

I think it makes more sense to do it that way (considering that they're
really part of the single error message, not independent reports), but
there's the problem that the error report gets too long. So we would
have to send a truncated report to the client and the full report to the
log only. Would people be upset at that?
