Docutils uses longtable (and the array package) unconditionally. Even if
this might be an overkill for short tables, I do not remember any
bug-reports regarding to this choice.

An alternative would be to use a "special" class argument: analogue to
"booktable" and "borderless", the latex writer could switch to using a
"longtable" if there is a class-argument "longtable" like::

.. class:: longtable
