Those 2.9->3.0 notes were written with relatively little operational experience with 3.0 in large deployments. Since then, many big companies have put 3.0, 3.1-RC* and everything between it to the test and there is nothing to be worried about. As for defaults, the defaults that PowerDNS ships with (see pdns.conf-dist or pdns_server --no-config --config) appear to be reasonable for most small to medium sized setups. For larger setups, increasing cache sizes, TTLs and backend counts may make sense.
