This is an even easier workflow for the user, and for coding. And doesn't result in the rather obvious mismatch you otherwise end up with between a native document in one space, and the PDF document in another space.

Oh no. Please let us think forward. It is great that Krita enables so 
many colour management freatures. That particular parts outside of the 
direct reach of Krita do not play well, is not a good reason to strip 
wonderful features from Krita.

That said, I guess the default colour space in Krita is sRGB to start a 
painting with.
