I don't object to adding a 2nd variant that takes a stroke width as long as we stop there. I don't want variants that take style, or corner radii, or insets, etc. (at that point, just use the existing API).

I agree. For me this would be the last useful variant I often needed in daily programming. Everything else should use the normal constructor as it is there for very specialized background/border.
