IMHO, ability to enforce a specific for particular types of files is a good thing, and if you can say that these files must have CRLF, it should be possible to say that those files must have LF. At least, it would be a logic thing to do. I don't see how it can be harmful.

I wonder if this combination should be allowed. core.autocrlf=true always implied that the native EOL is CRLF. So I do not think any reasonable behavior can be deduced for this combination. Can you imagine _anyone_ who would want to have such settings? Otherwise, it is better to error out if this combination is encountered.
