Most of those tools are PAPI based, and PAPI has been ported to the perf syscall as well - so there should be no problem whatsoever.
So, tools/perf/ is in no way an exclusive user of performance events - if that is your worry/argument. It uses the perf events system call, and that system call has a strict ABI and other tools can make use of it (and are making use of it today).
