Dear AUR-maintainers,
I don't think there's anything to say that hasn't been said on the forums already.
My personal POV, just to add a little more than a confirmation, I would argue that you should use an epoch when your versioning has a break in continuity. Sure, the rules aren't enforced as strictly on the AUR, but that doesn't mean one shouldn't try to provide the right experience for their users.
I'm just a user, but I argue that just because the Chaotic-AUR maintainers want to avoid epochs at all cost doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Yes, they should be used sparingly, I agree with that. But I feel that the end-user experience is more important than wanting a "clean" version number. If the Chaotic-AUR maintainer wants to avoid epochs that badly, it seems like they could maintain their own version of the PKGBUILD.
