If only this were true. There is no encoding which will include all of the Latin character sets I want. This occurs for me in tagging music files; I need both acute and grave accents on all vowels, slashes on Ls and Os, haceks on Cs, and dots above As. I can't get all that in any single Latin character set around, and I am delighted that the Ogg tagging standard specifies UTF-8. You are certainly right that it's not a Hurd-specific question, and Debian Hurd should probably just track what other people do, but we should make sure all our parts do the right thing with UTF-8, and then be ready to switch when Debian is.
