I think it might be confusing after getting used to and relying on it, e.g. if you don't have this feature when writing a comment in some programming language. And when your sentence already has a dot, typing two spaces adds another one. But I guess the last problem can be solved by modifying the regexp. 'paragraphs.el' (included in GNU Emacs) has `sentence-end', which returns the regexp describing the end of a sentence. Maybe start from there.
