Do we want to remove unit comments from all settings which accept

Meh. Doing this strikes me as a serious documentation failure, since it
is no longer apparent what happens if you put in a unitless number.
Well, you know my opinion about documentation in the pg.conf file.
However, I'm not confident I'm in the majority there.
I think there's a difference between comments about the function of a
GUC and stating the units it's specified in. It's more than annoying to
have to go and look that up where it's not stated.
