Tomcat is already secure by default in this case. The default is "webapps".
This would not be a secure by default change but a "secure when the
administrator (who is meant to know what they are doing)  provides an unsafe
configuration" change.

The logging of the deployed web applications should already be sufficient to
bring this to the attention of the administrator.

I remain concerned that taking specific action for this one foolish
configuration would be the start of the slippery slope as there are many, many
ways an administrator could shoot themselves in the foot.
