Summary

vt has been default console driver for some months already, and
while it supports UTF-8, it doesn't support other 8-bit locales
such as KOI8-R. To make console usable with russian login class,
and taking unicode prevalence into account, it is probably time
to switch russian login class to UTF-8.

I vote "yes" for this switch. There are some outfalls however.

But benefits definitely overweight outfalls in 2015.
