Yes, I think this idea of getting the ctrl variables in the connection callback is a good idea, and will allow more straightforward code As it is, a pyepics.PV is already expected to be a "rich" object, even if sacrificing ultimate performance, and is normally expected to have the ctrl variables. So, I think it's reasonable to have this getting of ctrl variables as the default. I'll add that.
This is generally a good idea for every ca client. After a reboot, anything may have changed: Enum strings, limits, units, precision, array size, even record type (and thus data type).
