It seems we should select good defaults. Maybe we should try to agree
which way we should err. Make u-boot bigger by default, and boards
that are limited can disable features? Or should we enable commands on
boards that "need" a feature and keep u-boot slim by default?

I don't like the half measure of defining a different default for one
platform than another unless it is actually something inherent in the
platform, and in that case it should be enabled by a "selects" under
the platform Kconfig.

I agree we want to have smaller defconfigs rather than bigger, but
there are lots of features and many boards will not agree, so the
defconfigs of many boards will have to contain something.
