I'm not a security expert but I would rather start with something
less ambitious and more secure. Just for sure.

The issue described in the article was fixed by requiring an absolute
path in core_pattern (If I understand it correctly).

If core_pattern is unsafe, the process is not dumped at all  (man 5 proc).

The kernel commit adds a warning, because kernel was silently ignoring
crashes and no one could notice.
If this is true, shouldn't we be safe to set the default to 2?

Note also, that having suid_dumpable = 0 is sometimes blocking other security 
features in Fedora, for example sssd running as non-root by default -
