The idea is that self-status normally doesn't change frequently, so it's not a problem to re-send the whole profile. Self-status is rather a biography, it even goes to "NOTE:" in vCards, so it's not a contact status at a particular moment like "online" or "busy", and to see it one should go to the contact profile. Don't check for "Chat-Version" header though. So if a non- Delta Chat key-contact removes footer, its "status" remains, but this shouldn't be a problem. For unencrypted messages self-status will still be always attached except MDNs, reactions and SecureJoin messages, so that it's visible as the message footer in other MUAs.
The normal way of synchronizing self-avatar and -status nowadays is sync messages.
