Agreed.

find-file-confirm-nonexistent doesn't use a "confirmation dialog", it just
puts a "[Confirm]" text in the minibuffer and rejects the RET (so you just
need to hit RET a second time).

It could, but I can't remember bumping into this TAB RET problem in other
circumstances, so we could definitely experiment with it, but I think the
priority should be to implement for the find-file case. It's also more
likely to be accepted as a default if it's more limited in scope.
