... and after installation, user can enable/disable the Quickstarter from the
UI, without the need to re-run the installer.

There's ~no overhead here. The implementation doesn't restart processes: it
reinstalls the icon into the tray, while still running the process. This
*removes* additional overhead of running *separate* process as service: no
additional memory or CPU requirements, no IP communications across system
security borders (system-to-user), no counting of possible concurrent user
sessions (with different users soffice running - usual, e.g., on terminal
services), no additional development overhead of managing (changing security
requirements) etc.

So - I don't see any additional overhead to implement *existing* functionality.
