I think that you won't be affected by agressive approach (2), provided
that you customize TeX-PDF-mode to nil. I confirmed that by changing
pstricks.el locally. After disabling TeX-PDF-mode, the following file
generates dvi and tries to open viewer associated with "dvips and gv"
option by repeated C-c C-c.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\begin{document}
dummy text
\end{document}

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End:

(When I erase cutomization of TeX-PDF-mode and let it to be t, repeated
C-c C-c then generates pdf by dvips and ps2pdf according to
TeX-PDF-from-DVI being "Dvips", as expected.)

As far as I can see, approach (2) affects only those who don't
customize TeX-PDF-mode AND expect AUCTeX to turn it off per-document
basis by detecting the presence of \usepackage{pstricks}. That is, those
who think "I let TeX-PDF-mode to be t because I want to use pdflatex for
ordinary LaTeX documents. However, AUCTeX should automatically turn off
PDF mode for documents with \usepackage{pstricks} as exception."
