This debate happened many years ago for common lisp.
The flag *use-primitive-as-default* is a big help for optimization. Most of the performance hits of boxing do not show in profiling. (It slows down a lot of functions, by memory access and - more importantly - filling the cache with garbage, that do not seem to be arithmetic-heavy)
Except for renaming this appears to be the common lisp (proclaim (safety 0) (speed 3))
The do-not-worry default allows an easy learning curve.
