If you want this change, you'll have to do the testing.

exit-function needs a fully formed completion.  try-completion's
and Emacs partial complete semantics aren't compatible.  ISTR
that even a full completion obtained via try-completion would
sometimes not run the function.  Maybe I'm misremembering.

This whole system is held  up by very thin wires unfortunately,
and a lot of people are relying on those wires.  The best choice
to use LSP's completions, which were obviously modelled after
other IDEs where completions are much simpler and similar to
the Company tooltip...   is  naturally to use something like
company (or corfu with some patch applied).

I hope you don't change any Company behaviour backward-incompatibly
(though I have my fork anyway, so no problem).

João
