You are indeed right.
I suggest doing the following:
1. Change the function definition to (&optional arg no-indent nonew)
2. With C-u prefix ARG or ARG = 'new, update heading at point
3. When ARG is not C-u and not 'new, treat it as non-nil no-indent in
   the past
   "22.12 Prefix Command Arguments" section of Elisp manual might be
   helpful to understand how to check C-u programmatically.
4. If NO-INDENT or NONEW arguments are non-nil, use them unconditionally
   regardless of the value of ARG

This way, the previous usage of the function will be the least affected.

If you can, please create a proper patch with commit message, as
