The texmf.cnf files now includes TEXMFHOME = $HOME/texmf but maybe we could add $HOME/Library/texmf to the list as well. Any objections to that? (I just need to figure out how to properly nest the braces.)

True, but it should be harmless if the folder doesn't exist on some other OS.
i wonder what happens if someone has another tex installed then
TeX is supposed to be installed somewhere else (by default), not in $HOME/texmf. People who do have those folders present usually know what they are doing. Not all of them, but some random newbie would not create a folder there.
so maybe make it an option somehow .. of just considere it not-done for the minimals
