A per-loan auto-renew flag could be accompanied by library settings and permissions to control its visibility, and it could also not be exposed to the UI at all. I brought up the idea because during the discussion on the Koha mailing list, somebody expressed that such fine-grained control would be useful to them. I would agree that it's a good idea to not display switches unnecessarily on the patron loan list interface unless they would get used.
