If I understand it right, the ArcSDEQuerier uses the Esri Legacy ArcSDE Reader to connect to an SDE and therefore is kind of a legacy transformer. Would it make sense to update it to use the newer SDE Reader? If not, I think it would make sense to add at least the "Populate from Connection File" option that was added in FME 2015 to the Esri Legacy SDE Reader. The other day it took me 30 min to figure out how to set up the instance string for the connection until I saw that option in the Reader and copied it from there.

During the last years the sde-instanz-name or sde-Server-name changed. We uses sde-connectionfiles, so there is less effort to change the names, but there is a lot of effort to change the names in each ArcSDEQuerier. So it would be great to use the sde-connectionfiles, too.
