The flag is useful to detect missing `MACOS_AARCH64_ONLY(ThreadWXEnable __wx(WXWrite, thread));`. Since the check is cheap and it is a `AARCH64_ONLY(develop(..))` only flag it makes sense to enable the flag by default.

FWIW, I decided to look into WXExec as default (JDK-8328306), and in my draft so far I have removedAssertWXAtThreadSync completely, and I suspect that a successful implementation of exec-by-default will make JDK-8307817 no longer needed as well.
