I dislike them, too.

My point is that this is not a bug on jit-lock-function, but something
pervasive. Changing it would require introducing a bunch of obsolete
aliases, for little gain. IMHO the best thing to do is adding a note
to the coding guidelines stating what to do (perhaps the
-default-function you suggest, though I don't much like it either),
and let the current uses languish and disappear.
