I'm not convinced. The automatic factory should be designed for most use cases,
corner cases can still use the simple factory. And most app will use
TpAccount/TpConnection and expect to have get_account/get_connection() working.

I still think that this is unclear for API doc:

"Blocked contacts does not appear here, unless they still have a non-No
subscribe or publish
attribute for some reason."

Tbh, I don't understand what it means at all.
