The overhead of checking the mode we just came from was killing us. I
couldn't find a clean way of doing that. The drain in time writing that
code certainly wasn't worth the effort.

You'd argue that running LE on machines with mostly LE devices isn't a
good technical reason? Even if the overhead of swapping (an instruction
for it) isn't too large it certainly would make things cleaner.
