Is that correct?
Are there any wikis other than MediaWiki where Flow is enabled on all talk
pages by default?
Are there any wikis where Flow is widely used on an opt-in basis, even if
it's not the default?
The Wikimedia wiki configuration files are published on the public
Internet at <https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/>.
https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/InitialiseSettings.php.txt has a relevant
section (lightly tweaked due to line wrapping):
---
'wmgUseFlow' => [
'default' => false,
// This is computed in flow.dblist as all - "a specific list"
// (nonflow.dblist)
// - "all private wikis" (private.dblist) + "private wikis with
Flow"
// (flowprivate.dblist)
'flow' => true,
],

You can view these database lists. In particular,
<https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=flow.dblist>.
These configuration files are the canonical source of truth for what's
enabled or disabled on Wikimedia wikis. There may be a nice manually
updated table on
mediawiki.org or
meta.wikimedia.org that explains the
status of Flow on various wikis.
You can verify whether Flow is installed on a specific wiki by visiting
the page "Special:Version" on that wiki; for example:
<https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Special:Version> lists "Flow".
This reply doesn't directly answer your questions about "opt-in" versus
"all talk pages by default", but it should be a decent starting point to
gather those answers as accurately as possible. For example, you can
reference the "wmgFlowEnableOptInBetaFeature" configuration variable in
InitialiseSettings.php.txt to see which wikis set this variable to true.
