If we go that way, then for consistency reboot(8) and halt(8) should
also be equivalent to calling shutdown -r now and shutdown -h now
respectively, unless conflicting options are given. Linux has a -f
option for what's currently reboot's and halt's default action, and
fastboot(8)/fasthalt(8) could also retain the current behaviour.

I would be in favour of this change.
