Given that you have per-user filters and can get authentication from that,
why would you supply a default "anonymous +p" right at all?

Not everyone are using per-user filters. Or filtering at all.

Assuming
there's a case where it's necessary, are you sure it's needed for
mailboxes other than INBOX?

I was thinking about the people who are using user+mailbox@domain style addressing (and no filtering). Perhaps they'd want to use ACLs to restrict for which mailboxes delivery isn't allowed. The normal case seems to be that they want delivery to work to most of their mailboxes, but maybe there are some exception mailboxes such as Drafts or Sent Messages.

Of course maybe I could just ignore these people and assume they don't want to use ACLs at all. :) It would make the implementation easier.
