But simulation by bitfury already indicated that we will have a severe performance problem with 4MB blocks on average home computer

I'd like to see that report. Got a link?

With only several thousand running full nodes now, it seems to me that 'average home computer' is not the limiting issue.

This is the data you are looking for -

here is the simulation test code-

This is an example of a tx that can push validation times to their limit and potentially crash nodes--

There are solutions to this problem and principally why core devs want to roll these out first ... before increasing the blocksize limit on the main tree.
