I think sleep/iowait should remain what they are, sleep/iowait end at
wakeup. I don't think waker trace is useless either for that matter.
Who/when ends a sleep period is just as much a part of the picture as
what triggered that sleep. Waker scheduling latency, thumb twiddling
etc. extend sleep.

Shrug, maintainer call. I don't recall ever having any difficulty
determining why a task went to sleep, so don't get it.
