You could put it directly into files.el.  Or (tho less good) put it into
`doc-view-mode' (so loading the file doesn't have any side-effect, though
using doc-view does).

No: `push' has never been a CL function: it used to be a CL macro and
nowadays it's a standard ELisp macro (tho CL replaces it with a turbocharged
version of it).  So you can use it alright (tho you may prefer add-to-list
in order to avoid adding the entry several times).
