Hi!

You should not be afraid about it. The slow down here is not significant. Search threads here, there were a lot of discussions here on this topic. When you have a lot of deleted records, the index will have benefit.

You should avoid filters in other indexes. I know there are people that recommend to filter indexe by deleted(), however, this is completely wrong because such indexes are not used in the optimization. Just the deleted() as an index expression is fine.
