So, I just asked Chris Steipp (WMF engineer in charge of software security) for his thoughts on this:
I can add a, "I think it's a good idea" to the list, but Ops will need to be ok with the shift. I don't think it would be a problem, but it does mean google spidering our https site, and that may concern them. I think ops would also be the ones to implement the actual change.
So in my opinion we can move discussion over to https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43466 ("when serving Uzbek Wikipedia, make HTTPS canonical"). I've asked a bug wrangler to contact Ops about it as well.
