AFAIR, your request was not about detecting "src edit" buffers, but about
detecting when a command is called in those buffers in very specific
scenario - by `org-babel-do-in-edit-buffer', while keeping the normal
behavior when editing those buffers interactively.

How would that help your original request?

I am reluctant. This will force us to make sure that we arrange this
variable appropriately in every single temporary buffer Org creates for
various purposes. In other words, it will increase maintenance burden.

Unless strongly justified, I am not going to do it.
