Arriving traffic that transitions the class C will be vectored to
the start of the local arrival procedure and nowhere else.


I think that unlikely.



So, to sum it up, we have a local VFR procedure that has been in
existance for decades, has had no safety issues, has been willingly
followed by thousands of pilots without complaint, and is implicitly
endorsed by the actions of ATC at two towers.


How do you know there have been no safety issues?



Sounds OK to me and I think I will continue to follow the procedures.


That's fine, you're free to follow them if you choose. Just as anyone is
free to decline to participate. The problem is that many pilots may not
know that they're strictly voluntary.
