Comment (by boonebgorges):

 Will - Yes to everything you've said here. `WP_Meta_Query` is provided for
 convenience, not a recommendation :) I'm happy for WP to take whatever
 steps are reasonable and necessary to make meta queries perform better,
 but in the end, we're pretty much hamstrung by the database schema. People
 who need super high performance queries on a very large dataset should
 either use WP's taxonomies or roll their own system, like you've done.
 Thanks for the feedback :)
