Given that the only way people are going to see the accounts sign up flow in the near term is via "Set up Sync" entry points, an opt-in after the fact seems redundant (and too easy to miss).
I think that clicking "set up sync" and going through the Firefox account signup process is enough opt-in to start syncing automatically (and as far as I know that's what current sync does). In the long term we may want to decouple "sign in" with "set up sync", but it seems like we shouldn't let that constrain us in the near term.
