I see no problem with such an addition - it is conceptually similar to
the existing :latex-default-table-environment,
:latex-default-quote-environment, etc.

Would you be interested to write a patch?
See https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html

We might go even further, and allow setting default environments like
this per-document via keywords or as a part of `org-latex-classes'.
