I think you can say something like

(eval . (org-startup-folded-mode))

to your .dir-locals (etc) to achieve this.  (And then you have to add
that to `safe-local-eval-forms' to avoid getting prompted, but Org could
do that in general.  And, of course, add this functionality as a minor
mode instead of just a variable.)
