In abstract terms, given that the whole point of this exercise is
shielding our users from changes in QEMU, why wouldn't we go the
whole way and take QEMU defaults out of the picture entirely?

I just can't picture a scenario where ignoring the QEMU defaults
would actually cause issues, since we're basically moving the
defaults into libvirt with this commit... Can you describe such
a scenario?
