This configuration variable sets the default for the --full-name option.

Would this change break Porcelains (e.g. Emacs modes) and force them
to be updated to explicitly pass --no-full-name to unbreak them?

Yes, that would be required.  On the other hand, currently it is
impossible to cut-n-paste a file name without --full-name, since the
pager is always started in top-level.  Perhaps it is better to fix the
latter?

On the third hand, git grep isn't plumbing, so variation of output is to
be expected?  We already have grep.lineNumber and grep.patternType /
grep.extendedRegexp (vc-git-grep uses -n itself, but does not protect
against grep.patternType).

Andreas.
