Sure, but my issue is the location indicator being on all the time. Denying it to play services just shifts the problem (and will probably cause app issues and extra battery drain).
Not sure about this, but some apps do cause additional battery drain if something fails to work. For example, an app is pinging a hostname to determine if its online, if it succeeds it waits 5 minutes before doing it again, if it fails, it tries again in 30 seconds. A pretty rough example, but this is just to say that its entirely possible.

You’re having GPS on all the time and worry about battery drain when disabling it? That does not make sense mate.

One service vs multiple apps doing it individually. The implications should be obvious.
