Putting it into \l+ would address my gripe about increased execution
time. The permissions angle still bothers me though. AFAIR there are
no psql catalog-inquiry backslash commands that require any special
permissions, so making \l+ into something that's quite likely to fail
in a locked-down installation seems out of place.

Is there a way to get it to just not print anything, instead of failing,
for DBs you don't have privileges for?
