I do not think so. There may be some fallouts, like negatively
affecting folks who have been relying on the current behaviour, but
I do not see a fundamental reason why that hook should not trigger
there (it may not trigger in the current implementation, but I view
it as lack of need so far, not a deliberate omission).

I'd say pre-receive would be the most sensible place to check things
like this. Some of your developers may not have pre-commit hook or
even run "commit --no-verify" to bypass the local check, and if you
have a central meeting place for the efforts by all your folks, that
is where you want to enforce the policy.
Checks done anywhere else are what are redundant, including the
pre-commit hook in individual developers. You can view them as a
way for individual developers to save their time---by choosing to
check locally, they make sure their commits do not trigger the
pre-receive hook at the central place.
