I'm also a fan of per module which can override a global setting.

I gave this some thought and I would be heavily against this: a module
doesn't get to decide for it's consumers wether they will want to run in
strict mode. The person running the puppetmaster should decide this,
preferrably on a per environment base.
What I do think would be good to have in metadata.json is a flag that
says which modes the module supports for which puppet versions. That way
it can be displayed on the forge for instance and I can choose in
advance to only download modules supporting strict mode.
Good idea. Ideally the forge should validate the module by parsing
everything in it and automatically assert if it passes strict without
warnings for the version the module states it supports.
This would be a reasonable measure of quality.
Forge can however not validate the runtime strictness (it would need to
evaluate / compile and that is not guaranteed to find all such problems.
We naturally want to make as much as possible be found when parsing and
validating statically.
If the forge ere to check strictness for statically discoverable things,
would you need to manually state strictness in metadata.json?
