IE stops the cursor from blinking in a text box if there is no system-wide user activity after 10 seconds, we might want to consider to do something similar. The savings in terms of energy amount up to 5%.

if IE does this already then it can be safe to do so. However screen magnifiers might be dependent on cursor blinking. So it makes sense to test IE with screen magnifiers running to check if it affects on cursor blinking.

In addition to what Surkov said, it should be tested with a screen reader running. IE may not disable cursor blinking if it detects a screen reader. However, this must be done by somebody sighted, since I don't see if the cursor stops blinking or not.

As a user, I'd suggest not following the same 10 second timeout that Windows 10 now applies to all Win32 GUI textboxes. Microsoft Word 2016, for instance, stops blinking after 30 seconds. While I don't like this "feature", I'd consider a timeout between 30 and 60 seconds acceptable. See also bug 1600303.

Emilio, could you please check if your patch on bug 1724405 takes care of the accessibility related question? If yes I assume we can mark this bug as duplicate?
