I'm not sure what the normal trend is, but some servers at least allow
restriction of room creation to either local users or a white list. There
are certainly abuse cases that need this.

I think all servers allow this unconditionally. There's a concern that a
remote server can spoof its own users, but that applies to most cases of
federated users, so I don't think that's a social case here.
