Also normal counters are not able to differentiate in T1/T2 tariffs.

T1/T2 tariffs are probably going to be unused in the future due to dynamic tariffs energy companies are promoting. Then you can use the dynamic price calculation.

Thinking of that: You can use dynamic price calculation now also. If you only have a fixed T1/T2 tarif you can make a virtual custom sensor and switch the tariff to T1 or T2 in that sensor with a dzvents script. Set that device as tariff device for dynamic cost calculation Then every energy sensor will use current tariffs. No need to split T1 and T2 in the P1 sensor.
I've precisely asked this to the author of the plugin but he's not inclined to do it because of the potential extinction of T1/T2 tariffs that you also mention. I'm not blaming anything; just saying that this is a complex process, and that the info in the wiki is still limited to a few scenarios. Probably the author of this thread was in a similar situation.
Anyway...the dynamic price calculation would indeed improve the calculation of costs in normal counters, although I assume that the P1 meter would not split the energy into T1/T2 correctly, as I am doing with my dzvents script.

I don't think a P1 smart meter is using T1/T2 with dynamic pricing but then I am not sure as I do not have a P1 smart meter.
