   Just my two cents; I think there are a couple of scenarios where this could 
be an issue:
   
   * Silent-ish failures in Operators/Sensors/Hooks when trying to use 
connections that don't have a `conn_type`. Maybe there is explicit error 
handling, but I haven't checked it out.
   * Inability for users to port one-for-one from a Secrets Backend to storing 
connections in the metadata DB (I can see this being a common issue).
   * Unintentional mis-use of Connections (maybe a user should be using a 
Variable rather than a Connection).
   
   I think requiring `conn_type` provides a more unified experience for users 
across the board.
