I think templates are too much based on the way one works. I can't
imagine one template turning out to be the default template for Org,
since the "default template" is just a scratch buffer.
For example, i've been using the one-project-per-file setup you've
described for a while. It first matches my taste for playing with
options that made each file aware of the context in which i was using
it. But after some time i (somewhat sadly) discovered my taste didn't
match my actual needs and switch back to the one-single-big-file
setup, since it does constrain a very sober (and hopefully more
efficient) use of metadata and options. But of course this is my
story, and everyone uses Org for different needs, with different
tastes.
I can see one constructive way of providing templates for org-mode: to
post them on a dedicated page of the emacswiki, along with discussions
on how/why to use them, or how a template matches a specific use. And
maybe the further step would be to provide a package with all the
templates.
Best,
