You don't want to ship every feature every user wants, for various reasons that I assume are obvious. Instead make it extensible.

users didnt ask for slow apis either but there they are. I am speaking for the user here and sharing their frustration. Allowing UI modification to fit the user needs should be a default now. The APIs already act as a gaurdrail on what's possible
Configurability in moderation is fine, but go too far and users can hurt each other. JIRA is famous for this: managers customize the life out of it at others' expense.
hence the sharability and subscription. other users need to explicitly subscribe to the page boosters. Else they continue with what they have.
