Low. It's a small new feature, and multiple browser vendors expressed support.

I guess Explainer + Motivation is the explainer here. Basically, it allows scripts to trigger the same submit process as a submit button does and that it's not been possible (except by simulating a click on a real submit button) has always been a weird oversight.

LGTM1

Just clarifying that Alex' unnumbered LGTM means that is 3 official LGTM so go ahead.

I personally (who worked on WebForms2, one of the HTML5 predecessors, with Hixie in ~2004) love to see this gap in the spec filled.
