This suggestion would be only for HEAD as it changes the behavior of -b.

Yeah, you're right.  Consistency would be good across the board, and
we'd need to take care of the old clusters as well, so the GUC
enforcement would be needed as well.  It does not strike me that this
extra IsBinaryUpgrade would hurt anyway?  Forcing the hand of the
backend has the merit of allowing the removal of the tweak with
max_logical_replication_workers at some point in the future.
