Rust has grappled with the issue of how far to push styling rules. E.g. from 2016:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1607#issuecomment-227...

I think it's worth reading more of that thread for some pros and cons of being very strict with styling rules. Note that being too strict can lead to code being less readable in specific edge cases. This may or may not be considered a fair trade off.

To summarize the linked post (which I completely agree with), just provide officially recommended sane defaults and then get out of the user's way. In my view, that's how nearly all software ought to be written.
