If implementation is doing filter_in and applying 'trace_printk|write_user' strings hidden within bpftool than I think it should be good. What do you think the default should be? It feels to me that the default should not be causing dmesg prints. So only addition flag for bpftool command line will be 'bpftool feature probe full'
