I agree. As far as students go, I've found that my PLAI students (juniors) adapted very fast to #t and #f from the teaching languages and that even they accidentally try to quote true and false within the single week I teach them with the student languages. So overall I think that #true and #false are good there and I don't see any problem with them being available elsewhere... just not the default.
