For other readers to take advantage of the code, this is my
implementation of the advise.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my/org-agenda-refile (orig &optional goto rfloc no-update)
  (funcall orig goto rfloc t))

(add-function :around
			  (symbol-function 'org-agenda-refile)
			  #'my/org-agenda-refile)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

My two cents,
