Wouldn't that exclude a lot of legitimate use cases?
Personally, I don't see an issue in this scenario of mine for Org to
handle. It's an exception I must handle.

I don't understand that. Isn't persistence about keeping data across
Emacs sessions?
Redirecting the cache is useful too. But, imho, there should be a way
to disable persistence altogether for sensitive data (or, at least,
any storage of data in other files, since I don't get what you mean by
persistence during a session). If `org-persist-before-write-hook' does
this, as I understand it does, adding a function there which just
returns the value of a variable defaulting to nil and safe-local if
booleanp, would be enough, wouldn't it? Or what am I missing?

That would be appreciated, thank you.
