In my head this is a bit less clean but I don't mind.

Thanks. Will fix the typo.

The reason why I chose this form is that I find it more robust on a
script that changes IFS. If this function is called within a block that
has changed IFS, "i" will take the entire sequence as the value for the
first iteration.

IMHO, passing complex commands to a function in bash can easily get very
problematic. That's why I try to remove all pipes, redirections or
logical operators like && and ||. At least for me it removes one extra
cycle that my brain has to spend looking at quotes and figuring out if
the operand will be interpreted inside the function or outside.

That's true.

My rationale was splitting "variable declaration" and "code". Sure
we're not adding an explicit cli argument for this (as with TRACING or
VERBOSE) but we kind-of are using KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW as an input so for
me grouping input processing all together made some sense. Having said
that, I don't have a very strong opinion. I guess we can move it up as
well.
