I think latexmk is a pretty reasonable expectation, and your
justification that it's more important seems sound to me.

Using the value seen in my config, I've found that at the least my
version of latexmk interprets the arguments such that
`org-latex-compilers' still works as expected (with xelatex, lualatex,
etc.). Perhaps this would make sense as a new default if it works well
for others too (without the -shell-escape bit though).
