This is mostly because this is upstream's default which I think is
reasonable.

Using 0700 makes indeed all files created on the server to have the
execute bit unless the client itself explicitely request to not do
so....which it doesn't in most cases.

I use such setting on all my own file servers for home directories, indeed.
