Yes. I also think that it's as easy as that.

But how to ensure only one language has a checked "is_default"-flag? Shall we ignore this issue or enhance TCA in some way to handle such cases? *

I'm happy with both solutions (sys_language and TS), but it'd be great if one of them could be implemented.
