... than by surprise, when you find your integer column contains "[object Object]"? Jokes aside, breaking backwards compatibility is obviously a non-starter.
Which is the worse surprise, when you update your dependency during development and get a fault, or when a user somehow ends up with a fault because of the previous default?
