I agree with you on the fact that ADD_ONION is nice and also crucial to hidden service as well. That will be addressed with the control port implementation of next generation. It's still an undecided part of the engineering work which is how we are going to proceed with it. Do we change the current events/commands to support both v2 and v3? Do we make new events/commands for v3? ... (#20699)

I suggest that we create new commands for v3. This will allow us to officially deprecate the old APIs and its more intuitive for developers since the distinction is clearer. This is also a golden opportunity to change "HiddenServiceX" to "OnionServiceX" if we want to officially transition the lingo.
