I don't think that's a good idea. If someone wants their /tmp as tmpfs,
then they can do so easily enough by changing the fstab entry.

The main  reason against this is, imo, that tmpfs is a memory file
system and can hence be problematic on machines with limited RAM and/or
large files in the /tmp directory.
