That's fine though, the patch still reads the old format the same way,
and the pages are treated as though they have no checksum. How is that a
reason for defaulting the GUC to off?

I'm missing something here. Are we worried about users who turn the GUC
on and then expect all of their old data pages to magically be
protected?
