It seems like complication for very slight advantage. Firstly, so far only UU Parsing and Trifecta appear to have optimized Applicative instances (does the optimization work for mixed Monad+Applicative parsers or only if the whole parser is Applicative?). Secondly if you want Applicative then you can write in the Applicative style, often as succinct as do-notation.
