There's no value in configuring the other ones. First, they're all connections to local processes so there's little or no cost. Second, there's probes are unnecessary for Unix domain sockets, because the kernel will notify us immediately if the connection is dropped. JSONRPC sessions automatically disable probing for Unix domain sockets (see jsonrpc_session_open()). I thought that our OpenFlow connections did the same thing, but the code isn't there. Probably, a better patch to submit would be one to do that.
