Comment:

 An alternative approach could be:

 * adjust logic in `wp_update_network_user_counts()` to count only users in
 the current network instead of all users
 * introduce `get_network_user_count( $network = null )` (returns the value
 of the network option `user_count`)
 * introduce `get_global_user_count()` (returns the sum of
 `get_network_user_count()` for all networks)
 * deprecate `get_user_count()` and recommend `get_global_user_count()` as
 replacement
 * replace Core usages of `get_user_count()` with either
 `get_network_user_count()` or `get_global_user_count()` (depending on
 context)
