I would prefer it if the semantics were the same as the legacy vncpasswd from TightVNC, whereby passing an argument of -f makes vncpasswd read the plain text password from stdin and output the encrypted password to stdout. I think that is ultimately more useful, since one could then use vncpasswd in any command chain.
I will modify your patch to do this if it sounds reasonable.
