When I say "not affected" I mean it. Turning off the readdir optimization affects ls -i only when it reads directory entries.
You mean you are only disabling the optimization and calling stat() anyway for directory entries, and not normal files? Then the effect is only reduced, not eliminated, but probably reduced enough to not be a big deal since most directories do not contain many subdirectories and little to no files.
