I tried to add the safe version of page break everywhere where there is
a risk of a page break followed by square brackets.
The key point: A valid Org file must be exported to a valid LaTeX file.
If you know a selective solution, patches are welcome. (I am also CCing
Daniel).
I see no issue with defcustom in general, but can you explain what
practical problems it is going to solve? I am not talking about
aesthetics of the exported LaTeX.

Won't it make it impossible to use
@@latex:\\@@
@@latex:[1em]@@
deliberately?
Note that we may also replace \\\empty with a single custom command. It
will look a bit cleaner. Not sure if it is any different from your
approach.
