I don't think so.
I think it may be good to define some alternate "engraving styles" for
users to choose from. For example:
- old ( \set Staff.extraNatural = ##t, steep beams, rounder noteheads
etc) for people that *want* to mimic XIXth century engraving
- modern ( \set Staff.extraNatural = ##f, flatter beams, a bit thinner
lines, maybe Gonville font, etc) for people used to the look of modern
scores
- default (something between)

You mean that it would be a good idea to check if Lily doesn't make
any mistakes mentioned there?
I'm investigating it.
