...Also, are there other config issues can be agreed on for this target/recommended setting? Logging level? Allow/Deny uploads?...
As someone mentioned, it might be hard or impossible to find a set of settings that suits everybody.
Instead of adding a production target, I'd suggest working on Timothy's instructions on the wiki (including the production.build.properties example) and adding the result to CVS as PRODUCTION-INSTALL.TXT or something once they're stabilized.
