Is it time to update the packaging guidelines to enforce setting a
"%global sover <X>" and using it in %files?

If nothing else it should at least be documented as a best practice.

I would be very opposed to this.

Even though some folks want rawhide to appear a release, rawhide is
not a release. So SONAME breakages are expected to happen in rawhide
and maintainers supposed to be reacted upon.

Yes, if they notice!
They - rsp. the maintainers of dependent packages - (usually) will notice very soon, because they'll receive an email notifying them about the breakage.
