Ah, and indeed that's the documented way according to (info "(elisp)
File Local Variables"):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
   When defining a user option using ‘defcustom’, you can set its
‘safe-local-variable’ property by adding the arguments ‘:safe FUNCTION’
to ‘defcustom’ (*note Variable Definitions::).  However, a safety
predicate defined using ‘:safe’ will only be known once the package that
contains the ‘defcustom’ is loaded, which is often too late.  As an
alternative, you can use the autoload cookie (*note Autoload::) to
assign the option its safety predicate, like this:

     ;;;###autoload (put 'VAR 'safe-local-variable 'PRED)

The safe value definitions specified with ‘autoload’ are copied into the
package’s autoloads file (‘loaddefs.el’ for most packages bundled with
Emacs), and are known to Emacs since the beginning of a session.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Great that it works now as intended.
