Is there any downside to having this enabled by default?

There is nothing wrong with enabling it by default or actually just always doing it and removing this flag. Only reason I didn't do it as was following the same pattern used by the milliseconds flag. I guess if someone is parsing the logs already then this would mean their parser breaks.

I think milliseconds are optional, to keep the default format aligned with the agent, which doesn't use millisecond timestamps.
same pattern used by the milliseconds flag
It's not quite the same pattern though: milliseconds option uses a java property as a toggle, not a command-line flag. This difference is somewhat of consequence, since users can set the properties via java_options, but IIRC there is no way to add arbitrary app-level flags (all existing flags are hardcoded in the jmxfetch.go).

I think this might not work as expected. According to the docs, to negate a true-by-default boolean parameter, the parameter needs to be configured take the false value explicitly.
But if this is just an escape hatch, then perhaps configuring this via a property would be better. The agent doesn't allow users to set parameters for jmxfetch, so this can not be toggled without an explicit support in the agent. But the agent allows to pass options to the jvm, which can be used to change properties. WDYT?
