I'm neutral to whatever is used. But applying customize-set-variable
as-it-is has the known drawbacks. If it is fixed in
customize-set-variable, or if there is another function, we could use it
for connection-local variables.

However, I don't work in the Customize area myself. Don't expect patches
from me.

Best regards, Michael.
