Do you mean that we should simply use pop-to-buffer?
I have no fully-formed opinion yet, but at the moment it seems to me that this gives the most consistent and customizable behaviour with the least amount of code. FWIW, attached is a patch which I have been using for quite a while. I found the resulting slime-selector behavior much nicer, YMMV of course.
Despite the variables you mention, Emacs has already a variable display-buffer-reuse-frames which probably does what slime-switch-to-output-buffer-search-all-frames was supposed to do.
Yes, there are several variables and mechanisms which customize buffer/ window/frame behaviour and they also interact. It requires a bit of fiddling to get the desired outcome.
