If that's not possible,
It's not.
does anyone have an argument against giving up and turning it off
browser wide?
I can't imagine it will cause any problem at all. Turning it on only
affects meta http-equiv="refresh" redirects and reloads.
AFAICT the only reason the ability to block those was introduced was
that pages were using them to fraudulently increase the number of
times banner ads were loaded. The ad industry has changed a lot
since then, and I haven't seen that annoyance in years.
I just saw David Ross' post giving the pref name for it, which prompted
me to think there might be another reason they introduced the feature,
and there is. Pages that use meta refresh with a timer are extremely
confusing to people who use screen readers and cannot see what is
happening.

The bottom line is still the same, no reason for you to worry about the
setting.

Meta refresh with a timer is also extremely annoying. I hated having a
page suddenly reload itself when in the middle of reading it.
