I'm starting to lean towards not allowing P2SH wrapped Taproot as well.
Given the progress bech32 adoption has made in the past year or so, I
don't think adding P2SH support would result in many more software
authors deciding to implement receive-to-taproot functionality. And
without that advantage, having the option of supporting P2SH wrapping
actually risks degrading the privacy goals it aims for (see ZmnSCPxj's
argument above).
My main intuition for keeping P2SH is that Segwit was really designed
to support both, and I expect that disallowing P2SH would actually
require (very slightly) more complex validation code. I don't think
this is a sufficiently strong reason, especially as keeping P2SH
support does increase the number of combinations software needs to
test (both in consensus code and wallets).
Cheers,
