The upside is a return to normality as quickly as possible

And more games = more money. They still have to finish in the top 17 to stay up. And as usual the promoted teams will be expected strugglers, so their chances next season will only be marginally worse. To get relegated they'd have to have a rotten season, which would probably have gotten them relegated anyway even with 20 teams.
