I don't see a strong reason to configure it on or off. Private address should always be ok. Nodes should just deal with them correctly. A node should never accept a private address from a non-private addressed node, and a node should never send a private address to a non-private addressed node. This would contain the private addresses within private networks. No node should _ever_ accept private address from a node with a public address, even if you have configured "allowPrivateAddress=yes". That would be broken. If your machine is on a public network and a private network and you want to make sure that your node only connects to public network nodes then maybe you should just bind the node to the public interface. I totally a lurker on this list and just felt like adding my two cents.
