The devs have stated they will eventually remove the filter but only once all the individual offending features have been removed/disabled/modified. This work may include modifying the appearance of explosions, muzzle flash, propellor arc etc.
I'm a programmer and I'm pretty certain that once this work is complete there will be no way to reintroduce the original features through hacks...unless the source code was available.
If the (resource hogging) global ep filter was left in place then a simple hack could probably switch it off for good. However, this will become impossible once the multiple fixes have been applied to the problem areas (read everywhere!).
