I attach the suggested patch. I removed parenthesis-grouping for the
reasons I gave above. Carsten: if you'd rather keep this feature, let me
know, I'll provide another patch.
I also slightly changed the simplified regexp, as [:word:] includes
underscores in Org syntax. I used [:alnum:] instead.
Regards,

Subject: [PATCH] Change no brace sub/superscript syntax
* lisp/org.el (org-match-substring-regexp): Simplify syntax when not
using braces. Also remove parenthesis as grouping characters and make
the variable a defconst.
(org-match-substring-with-braces-regexp): Make the variable a defconst
and remove a useless group in regexp.
(org-use-sub-superscripts): Update docstring.
* lisp/org-element.el (org-element-subscript-parser,
org-element-superscript-parser): Adapt to group changes.
