Not for us, no. (But this is maybe a different topic.)
In our workflow (centralized repository), we never ever have a local
branch with a different name than its upstream branch. Never.
When we say
git checkout -b topic origin/master
then it's always a mistake, and what we really meant was
git checkout -b --no-track topic origin/master
This has bitten us a few times in the past (people accidentally pushing
their topic branches to master this way), and it's very annoying.
But coming back to the subject of push.default: in our environment,
"upstream" is the only default that is useful with the current behaviour
of git.
(I could dream of a git mode where it's not necessary to explicitly set
an upstream branch, and all git operations such as status, pull, or even
saying "@{u}" would automatically use "remotes/origin/samename" as the
upstream branch. In that case, "current" would be a more convenient
default value for push.default; but I guess that hypothetical mode would
imply this anyway.)
