I looked into it, and while it initially seemed simple to
patch /usr/share/owncloud/settings/admin.php like this

-$tmpl->assign('backgroundjobs_mode', OC_Appconfig::getValue('core','backgroundjobs_mode', 'ajax'));
+$tmpl->assign('backgroundjobs_mode', OC_Appconfig::getValue('core','backgroundjobs_mode', 'cron'));

it seems like the assumption that ajax is the global default (that is
used if no other value is explicitly configured) is encoded in several
other places too, like this in admin.php

$shouldSuggestOverwriteWebroot = $config->getAppValue('core', 'backgroundjobs_mode', 'ajax') === 'cron' &&

and the following in ./lib/private/backgroundjob.php

return OC_Appconfig::getValue( 'core', 'backgroundjobs_mode', 'ajax' );

so it didn't seem trivial to come up with a config patch, and I
wouldn't want to propose something half-baked that wasn't robust.
