So perhaps have type 4 = Argon2, type 5 = symmetric key transport, with a
safety note added to say that it's meant for randomly-generated symmetric keys
that are already, in effect, in the post-S2K state.

That would be fine for new code.  Nevertheless implementations need to
support reading type 1 until all backup media as worn out.  Thus I doubt
that requiring an extra code path is the way to go.
