I think this leads to a more general question:

My assumption was that we're only migrating customized prefs, since otherwise we can't tell the difference between something a user made an explicit choice about vs didn't care.

But more broadly, I think we should be pretty conservative with what's migrated. A quick skim shows that we're migrating lots of stuff that seems low-value (eg browser.underline_anchors), or things that could be outright broken (eg permissions.default.image, the UI for which was removed!).

So I think it's worth revisiting what prefs we migrate.
