  So, it means that most of live supervision I was doing from time to
time as a 'normal' user will need to be done as root (top,
ps axf, ...)
  I'm not sure I will let this setup (hidepid=1) on my computers. My
current POV (that can change) is that I prefer to be able to do the
maximum of thing as a normal user (top, ps, read log (I'm in the
adm group), ...) ans switch to root when I really need to do some
modifications.
