Comment (by spacedmonkey):

 I put together [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/10309
 PR] that makes the caps, roles and allcaps properties again. The biggest
 issue this fixes, is loading user meta on the frontend. This new change,
 add a short_init option, that loads the user object, but skips loading
 roles, cap and allcaps. This is an opt-in feature and opt-in in a number
 of places in core. This stop user meta loading on the front end.

 The other downside, is the if you use the $authordata global, the
 properties will not be setup. This feel much more edge the current
 solution. But I will check the plugin repo.
