I am not sure if a user is going to change the rate control at run-time by
reloading mac80211 and what would be point in using ath9k RC which has basic
connectivity problems ?

ath9k RC shows slightly higher throughput numbers in an _ideal_ environment,
but that is hardly the case in real-world usage. I agree that the code can
be left in the driver, it will be useful for comparison with minstrel.
