That's a good question. I wouldn't be gutted at all if we dropped
inline-using from the initial scope, too, because I really think
separate template files is not a bad thing. But I'm also not as
concerned about having it in because in my mind it really doesn't have
the complexity downsides of inline-extends; its just a pretty normal
scoped tag, much like "with" or other existing tags.

The only issue I see here is naming :-) When a template gets that
specific in purpose, it doesn't make sense to pretend its reusable and
try to name it in a "generic" way. In general I don't see any problem
with making specific included form templates for specific needs. I'd
probably just call these "profile_form.html" and "display_name.html", if
those are names that make sense in the context of the project. I don't
know about your projects, but mine already include plenty of template
partials with very project-specific, non-generic purposes, so I don't
see this as that different.
