I agree that keeping string.Template around is valid due to its focus on
being very simple to use (especially for non-coders producing
translation templates)

However, string.Template is already set up to work for the relevant APIs
in that domain so I don't think it will really be affected by any
changes to the underlying language and library support for brace formatting.

Cheers,
Nick.
