The only argument I see for format() over the % operator is that bytes objects explicitly do not have the format() method and so it'll catch errors where a bytes object is passed to something expecting a string.
But since we're already Unicode-ifying everything at the boundaries and have been since before Python 3 existed, I don't think there's much gain from that, and it's not like %-formatting is going away. So I'd argue that it's fine to keep things as they are for now, use format() in future commits if it's cleaner, or just adopt a policy of "if you're in there making a change and it won't break back compat, feel free to update to format() while you're at it" for people doing patches, rather than try to force all usage to convert in one go.
