It is not always about speed. There are still plenty of places in the world

it off is still a sane choice. Just my 2 cents.

I recommend that deltarpms be disabled by default as they increase attack
surface.  Users who need deltarpms to be enabled can turn them on manually.
In the future, deltarpms should be cryptographically signed, which would
mitigate these concerns.

This has been discussed before. The deltarpms don't need to be signed, it's irrelevant. The resulting rpm is signed and the signature is checked before installing.
