This is a reasonable addition.
Although, please fix the changelog entry to mention that
`org-footnote-new' is altered.

This wording is confusing. No labels are actually created. Just
anonymous footnote. Please reword.
Also, this is a new feature and should thus be announced in
etc/ORG-NEWS.
Further, please consider adding a new #+STARTUP option to
`org-startup-options'. We already have some facilities to set
`org-footnote-auto-label' there: fnauto, fnprompt, etc.
If you do, you will also need to update the manual section "Summary of
In-Buffer Settings".
Finally, please add a test for the new option to `test-org-footnote/new'
in testing/lisp/test-org-footnote.el
