If so, I think it would it be better to reduce the scope - include in 7.2, with a view to holding a discussion/vote on making it default nearer the time 7.4 comes around. It seems a little premature for voting on things that won't even start happening for a couple of years, and there's always the possibility that something may change between now and then (e.g. some better default is decided on and/or some vuln is discovered in bcrypt/Argon2 that changes the considerations).
