Indeed, it is just affecting the ramp (peak current is bigger).
However, forcing powerup at probe time versus at play time means that you consume power even when not playing audio.
With older VMID referenced devices like this one seems to be there's usually not really any good tradeoffs. You have to balance audible noise on the outputs when starting audio, idle power consumption and the time taken to get the device live either on starting a stream or boot. Generally for a given device there's a fairly clear optimum and trying to support multiple options makes things more complex and less robust.
