One of the first things I do when I bring up a new OpenWrt box is to
disable ULA to the LAN as it has not usage in most scenarios I think.
I basically use the IPv6 connectivity to receive a global prefix
delegated from my ISP, install it on the LAN and bring global
connectivity to devices behind it.
I hardly see scenarios where ULA are used - and I know there may be
legitimate scenarios - but I don't think they are many that justifies to
have ULA turned on by default.
I see no problem in turning it off and leave it as optional to be
enabled for those cases

That's just not the case.
ULAs are intended to be the IPv6 version of RFC1918, useable for local
communications.
Please go read RFC7084.
ULAs are required, and OpenWRT has been a leader here.
I strongly object to this proposal.
