Thsi makes no sense to me. The linker script should use the
information that is intensded for the linker script, i. e. TEXT_BASE;
using CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN seems to be wrong here.

Actually I consider this a change to the worse. See for example The
TQM85xx boards below.

Why is this changing here and in other places?

Without your change, we just had one knob to twiddle (TEXT_BASE), now
we suddenly have two, which must be kept in sync. And we have a lot of
additional #ifdef's.
