That sounds reasonable. It can be changed by modifying simply the
interactive spec of indent-rigidly.

Same here.
For both changes, there's a risk some users will be annoyed, but they
can still get the old behavior with a C-u 1 or C-u - 1 prefix.
This said, there's another good default behavior for non-prefixed C-x
TAB which is to enter an interactive loop that lets the user move the
block left/right with the cursor keys. I think this would be a more
useful change.
