So the proposal you are pushing is going

FWIW here's some evidence... Craig Kersteins did a talk on the
statistics across the Heroku fleet: Here are the slides from 2013
though I think there's an updated slide deck with more recent numbers
out there:

Cube shows up as the number 9 most popular extension with about 1% of
databases having it installed (tied with pg_crypto and earthdistance).
That's a lot more than I would have expected actually.
That's an interesting statistic. What I'd be more interested in is
finding out how many of those are actually using it as opposed to having
loaded it into a database.
