The whole series looks OK to me. The only thing I'm, a bit worried about
what happens is I Ctrl-C compaction at any state. Is it possible that I
end up with corrupted database ? Someone may accidentally execute
notmuch compact -- for example by picking the command from history.

If it is possible what is the likelihood that happening (also comparing
w/ notmuch tag, notmuch new & notmuch insert managing to corrupt database)

I personally would like to be sure. OTOH if others don't see issue
there (perhaps with a good reason) I'm fine with the patches as those
are now.
