I'll admit the main problem that I have with the threadDelay in
concurrent-extra is the gratuitously unicode source file.

I wound up having to reimplement it inside a library of mine to avoid adding
a dependency on that extension and the unrelated dependency on stm. =(

(Technically, I implemented it directly first, then found concurrent-extra
and wasn't willing to refactor to use yours as a result of those.)

You are of course free to implement things as you see fit, but little things
like that do impact adoption.
