I'd suggest adjusting the exclusion list to the file systems you want to
exclude.

I.e.
alias df='df -x tmpfs -x devtmpfs -x loop'

That works on my system as well as:
alias df='df -t xfs'

Certainly prompting the user for wanted defaults and adding them to
their .shellrc could be part of an initial run of *some* utilities
that wouldn't cause hard-coded side-effects.
