It all depends on the use-case, but my own use cases, frames on other
displays/terminals are always "temporary frames" I created via
emacsclient so as to access remotely the state of a running Emacs.

I suggest you start with "only use the current display" (at least for
the non-daemon mode), since it's a kind of halfway step between the
previous behavior (which did not save&restore the window&frame state)
and the "restore the state on all the displays".
