Yep, the usual crowd don't come here. Let us know if you find the new anchor usefully better than the Delta.
I do believe they are drainage holes ..Are they drainage holes?
I'm struggling with your reasoning. If there's a situation where the shaft length is irrelevant, that's with plumb bows, methink.Amlov, I was thinking of your comment - plumb bows are quite common now and the problem you describe is going to be a real issue.

Possibly.Or are we talking at cross purposes?
Possibly.
The reasons why the ground tackle design is a bit more critical with plumb bows is pretty clear, and rather obvious.
But the fact that Amlov pointed out, i.e. that you must pull more chain before the anchor tip moves forward due to the shorter shaft - hence possibly interfering with the bow, where a same size Delta previously didn't - is only true with NON plumb bows.
I mean, with a plumb bow the anchor tip has the same chances to touch the hull at any heigth, regardless of the shaft length.
