Exactly. So the UTF-8 encoding won't change anything, it will only make
it easier for the netrc/authinfo file to be shared :)

So I would just override that when writing the netrc/authinfo file. I
can't imagine any value in letting the user override the UTF-8 encoding,
can you?

There must be netrc/authinfo files written in binary encoding because
that was the default. I'd like to open them, but also open UTF-8
encoded netrc/authinfo files, and also accept raw-text or any other
reasonably guessed encoding. For UTF-8 there are heuristics but Emacs
has them built-in, right? So I don't have to write special code to
guess?
The alternative is to try as utf-8, then try binary, then give up. But
that's less friendly to the user I think.
