The mere fact that it is an option, and not enabled by default, indicates that there might be problems enabling it. One problem might be that some applications may require support for asynchronous (structured) exceptions and want to specify /EHa, or that they have cases where C functions throw C++ exceptions, so they want to specify /EHs (no c). So yes, unfortunately, you'll have to add the option into your own setup.py, it seems.
