I would not classify any of these as "useful" except perhaps
DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE (which is 4.2 specific). DB_TXN_NOT_DURABLE is
outright dangerous and defeats most of the purpose why we switched to
Transactional in the first place.

The lk_max* stuff are tuning figures, making these the default we'll
receive complaints about large __db.* files.

I haven't yet gotten around to review your "copy and update"
procedures/scripts inquiry (reasons in a personal mail off-list) but I'd
think we could offer generic bogocopy/bogomove and bogocompact or more
generic maintenance scripts, and a list of useful DB_CONFIG parameters
along with the minimum required (or maximum supported) BDB version is
also on my TODO list.
