Comment (by jwarren):

 I did a relatively brief audit of some of the most recently updated
 plugins which use wp_login_failed: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d
 /1Dc0uCGBjmsIFR5II_E3MzSqdL8q6twiv5GLXJeA-vMA/edit?usp=sharing

 It seems that it's used by a lot of logging plugins. Firing
 wp_login_failed more frequently would change the intended behaviour of how
 these currently log. Only one would actually break. I don't think it'd be
 a big change to get them working as intended.

 I personally vote for using my original patch to add additional hooks.
 This will keep current code working as intended and add additional options
 for expansion if needed.
