Is there any reason to be concerned about enabling multiviews in the
default config file? It is a... perhaps significant change in behaviour.

It adds overhead, so Apache will be slower in performance tests where the
default configs are used. That would be my main criticism. I don't see
it as a security problem, though it does deviate somewhat from the rule of
least-surprises.

Also, providing welcome pages for various languages makes it very likely
that a new user will want to put up their own page, so they edit
"index.html.en", see it change for them, and think they are done. Then
random other people come along with different language settings and still
see the default page. The Apache user won't necessarily know they also
have to remove index.html.* or to create their page as index.html...
