Why don't you just use -fno-warn-type-defaults? Warnings are just that:
warnings.  If you believe the defaulting matches what you want to do, then
you don't need the warning.

ghc -Werr -Wall is a often good idea, but if you prefer a different
programming style (e.g. no top-level type declarations required), ghc gives
you the flexibility to do that.
