No preference as such, just that there may be other domains with email
on the server in the future and the default hostname was as good as any.

No, they say:

SPF:    PASS with IP 2a00:1098:82:b3:0:0:0:1
DKIM:   'PASS' with domain xk7.net
DMARC:  'PASS'

There is no warning about no authentication (and there shouldn't be).

I only send xk7.net mail via this server so mx should be fine. Any mail
from xk7.net coming from any other server should be rejected (and
ideally notified, but I'm not sure that Google does anything with DMARC
records in that regard).

Yes, it is 2048 bits:

openssl rsa -text -noout -in dkim.key 
RSA Private-Key: (2048 bit, 2 primes)
