I don't think that being conservative in accepting pgbench options is
the right way to go. It's already so easy for a non-expert to shoot
themselves in the foot that we don't do ourselves any favours by
carefully weighing the merits of an expert-orientated feature.

Have you ever read the man page for rsync? It's massive, with a huge
number of options, and rsync is supposed to be a tool that's widely
used by sysadmins, not a specialist database benchmarking tool.
