Some comments from @sipa in #12702.

Yes, I think `importmulti` is superior in every way, except:
* Slightly less convenient to use (it requires redundant information, as you have to explicitly state what you want to import, and then give the keys/... to enable that).
* ~Doesn't support P2SH-P2WPKH yet~. Added in #14454

The latter can be fixed by just adding support for that case. The former can be improved by adding 'default' cases (e.g. if you prove a WIF private key, it can permit omitting the address, ...).

if (it != pwallet->mapKeyMetadata.end()) {
            meta = &it->second;
        }
    }
    if (!meta) {
        auto it = pwallet->m_script_metadata.find(CScriptID(scriptPubKey));
        if (it != pwallet->m_script_metadata.end()) {
            meta = &it->second;
        }
    }
    if (meta) {
        ret.pushKV("timestamp", meta->nCreateTime);
        if (!meta->hdKeypath.empty()) {
            ret.pushKV("hdkeypath", meta->hdKeypath);
            ret.pushKV("hdseedid", meta->hd_seed_id.GetHex());
            ret.pushKV("hdmasterkeyid", meta->hd_seed_id.GetHex());
        }
    }
