dovecot is built with "--enable-experimental-imap4rev2", can we assume that "--enable-experimental-mail-utf8" is not needed since it is required by imap4rev2?
I have begun a teat with IMAP4rev2 - I compiled with both flags enabled to be on the safe side....
Hi!
The reason this setting exists is that the mail utf8 support is not yet fully complete, so we want to make it possible for people to have it available (we build our CE packages with support enabled), but also being able to disable it, in case it does not work correctly.
Eventually this setting will go away.

Thanks you AKi.
After some initial testing, the plan here is to push to production. The predominant mail clients (evolution, fairemail on android and apple email on macos/ios) don't appear to have IMAP4rev2 support; but the UTF8 side should get some testing.
