You have yet to supply any arguments which support this position.

Several people have pointed out that requiring PERFORM needlessly makes
life hard for PL/pgSQL programmers, especially new ones.  You have not
given us any benefit it supplies in return.

And no, I don't accept the idea that we might someday have some kind of
conflicting syntax for stored procedures which nobody is working on as a
valid argument.
