The changes make sense, but are you sure that no current users of those
macros have some % character in the string they pass? If all users pass
string literals the compiler/0day bot should catch those, but as the
very example you give in 2/2 shows, not everybody passes string literals.
Maybe git grep would quickly tell that there's only 8 callers and they
are all audited quickly or something like that; in that case please
include a note to that effect in the commit log.
