I find the prospect of gradual identity change (where I'm always locally happy) horrifying if it leads to me destroying things I now hold dear. But supposing that I accidentally took such a course, I'm sure I would be quite content.

Interesting. How does one distinguish preference drift from learning about unknown aspects of preference?

You're right. I think I'm incapable of it. In retrospect can tell you where I drifted from (or was naive about), but even that's just recollections of thoughts and emotion (i.e. not very reliable). I don't see any way to distinguish drift vs. learning about who I "really am" over my history, let alone in the present.
