Useful is an interesting word.

Can we push out IPv4 exhaustion with aggressive reclamation?

Only for a relatively short period of time.  I think the top end
estimate is 1-2 years.

Is there value in taking away unused addresses and giving them to
people who can use them based on "efficient utilization" and
stewardship prior to them just becoming an asset on the black/grey/white
market?

Depends on your point of view.

Is there value to having everyone under an RSA, one of the terms
of which is that there are "no property rights" to addresses prior
to exhaustion?

Depends on your point of view.

Is it good to start now reclaiming the low hanging fruit such that if
the transition goes poorly and the community wants us to reach for fruit
further up the tree we already have some experience picking it?

Perhaps.
