I'm not involved with this particular change so I'm not familiar with its details, but when it comes to other changes restricting operations that involve extra risk (such as JEPs 260 and 472) the operations are enabled on a per-module basis and, as always, any part of the command line configuration can be easily put into configuration "@files".
One thing to keep in mind is that such configurations should be kept simple because when things become complicated misconfiguration becomes common.
Another thing is that restriction should be the default, especially in situations where most people don't need to disable it. Otherwise things may creep in without the application owner's knowledge (this is like transitioning between high and low entropy; it's always better to start at low entropy, as going in the other direction requires energy).
