I wonder, though, if bypassing stub template redirects is seen as more important than bypassing template redirects in general. Is using the correct stub template seen as especially critical?
At any rate, given this applies to all template redirects, yes, this should be considered cosmetic.
See my sandbox, where I have a template call to "citation needed" followed by one to cn, a shortcut. They both render the same in HTML. The background processing may be different, of course, but what the reader sees and the browser receives is no different in any possible way.
rev 12142 API disablepp parameter is deprecated, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Parsing_wikitext#parse says to use disablelimitreport instead
Fixes this issue (tested on [[Aristotle]] where currently only genfixes change is a {{cn}} to {{citation needed}})
Running into this issue on AWB 6.4.0.0: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Ionmars10/sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=1320610254
I have confirmed that "skip if only cosmetic changes" is enabled. "Skip if only minor genfixes" was disabled but that ideally shouldn't matter here (I reenabled it afterwards though due to this issue).
