Also, consider that ITW has never played an engagement in New York or London without significant textual changes. It never played with the same text twice. Major changes were made for the first London production, the first New York revival, the Regents Park production, and the Central Park production. This show in particular seems to be continually evolving and I don't see why that wouldn't continue with a film. That said, to my mind, none of the textual changes since the original Broadway production have either been necessary or been improvements. The one that causes the least issue is the addition of "Our Little World" to the first act. It's unneccessary and makes an already top heavy first act even more so, but it doesn't really do any harm to the piece to include it.
