I agree that it is sensible to have the setting on the client,
and that there should not be too many GUCs.

In a way, yes, except that I think that "wrong" is exaggerated.
As DBA I like to have an option to control things from the server
end -- if that's laziness, so be it.
So, should I forget about the GUC or is anybody going to back me?
I'd still be willing to write a patch for a client-only solution.
