We can plugin, enable/disable the check host=127.0.0.1 from there.
I can appreciate some aspects of this thought, but in the end, I want to
be able to control that with "hostname" settings and /etc/hosts values.
As long as it doesn't change the outwardly visible behavior, its
probably a good idea. Some part of me actually thinks that just logging
at "info" or "warning" when the IP address is 127.0.0.1 (ipv4) in all
those places might make it more obvious for "code" learners, what needs
to be considered.

Indeed. Default behaviour should be exact as it is now. shouldnt it? We
could add customization with a system property, method call, pluggable
ip address discovery.
