I don't like that idea.
use_large_installation_tweaks=0 is no guarantuee for
having a small installation present. Personally I do not use it for
example, since it does have certain caveats. Some people like to
have full control over their nagios and might make 75% of that
adjustments that u_l_i_t=1 does, but not the rest because of
certain problems that arise in their special environment.

Personally I'd favour some some kind of dynamic model, which
presents me with a button on the GUI which reads "Press here to
display all childs of this system" and THEN nagios might go
crawling the hostslist for children. That'll be a good agreement
in my opinion.
