One downside I see is that the mechanism could be used to detect where
an email address routes to. In the case of azul+conf this may be easy to
guess. But for aliases users do not expect them to be linkable without
any interaction on their side.

If they use a shared key for this purpose they are theoretically linkable via 
fingerprint anyway. In the case of things like catch-all addresses, I think 
this can be left up to the MTA to implement how they see fit. I think in most 
cases for catch-all the destination address is not sensitive.
