With a version from last week (before the formatting changes):

$ git grep '^ \+for (' src | wc -l
11387
$ git grep '^ \+for(' src | wc -l
1210
$ git grep '^ \+while (' src | wc -l
926
$ git grep '^ \+while(' src | wc -l
156
$ git grep '^ \+if (' src | wc -l
22760
$ git grep '^ \+if(' src | wc -l
129

Is 10% small enough to be called "unconventional"?

You've said that the only reason you care about this is because it affects
readability, which is exactly the reason to have consistent formatting
guidelines in the first place.
