One of your concerns is that since default values are baked into the caller, changing the default value later still creates calls with out-of-date default values. This is primarily if you are creating public APIs for use by anyone on the planet. But that can be easily solved by signing your assemblies. Caller won't run without matching signature forcing your clients to recompile. If it's for internal use, people will be recompiling all the time so it is not really a concern. About the gotchas…
