I understand what you mean, but I suppose my reaction would be that
what we really need is a place to keep these things, with a note in
the docs that the "best practice" settings for these are documented
at <some url>, and evolve over time as people gain expertise with the
new features.

I suspect, for instance, that nobody knows exactly the right settings
for any generic workload yet under 8.1 (although probably people know
them well enough for particular workloads).
