I personally haven't seen this situation happening, and I don't think it's very probable. Most of the time, people that add new sentences in the middle of a section are familiar with the text being edited, and know how do references work.

Footnote indicators simply don't work that way, and as you conceded, the page ends up being covered by redundant indicators, and the footnote itself gets filled with link achors anchor links that makes it hard to distinguish what is it supposed to reference.

More often than the situation you described, I've seen users adding in between the sentences of a single paragraph. A situation which isn't covered by that preventive measure. What I mean is that this preventive measure to be actually infallible and more often useful than annoying, every single sentence of a given referenced section should have a redundant citation, but that'd only make it even more annoying.
