IMO it's unfair to add a new option and make it default in one step. One
should add a new option, wait some releases and make it default if
there is a request for this (by users).

The question is who does want this quotes and even worse escapes? For
sure not those people who are using the most "nice" filenames
like "Don't README.txt". Now it looks like this.
$ touch "My Brother's stuff"
$ touch "Don't README.txt"
$ ls
'Don'\''t README.txt' 'My Brother'\''s stuff'
...ridiculous! Terminal output should be human readable not machine
readable.
