It would be so much better, inifinitely better, if niche protection was an emergent feature of the rules system, rather than something that needs to be artificially imposed on the metagame level.

I agree somewhat.
The Complete GURPS Dungeon Fantasy should not be a D&D emulator. That would be a mistake. The default presentation should be the GURPS style.
There should be three major options in the Character Creation section
1) The default templates used for 150 pt characters.
2) The low point template used for realistic NPCs or low powered campaigns.
3) The DF 250 pt templates for D&D style high fantasy. Also useful for the making the Big Bad.
Probably #1 and #3 can be combined somewhat if space is tight. I.e. here what you normally use. The next paragraph would have the options for 250 points.
