The question is if the explicit ones replace the implicit ones or are in addition to them.

I don't know python well, so this all might work very well for them. But if, for instance, there was a very core developer or two, then no amount of structure will take away from their sway. If a major point of contention arose between the "paper" structure and the core developers, there will be a problem.

There's little risk of that, since the governance structure has apparently been determined here by the core developers themselves. The goal of any such effort like this is not to outright eliminate all implicit power structures (effectively impossible), but to explicitly surface a semblance of the existing implicit structure for greater transparency in governance.
