There is a way to avoid this. See the comments below.

Please start sentences from capital letter and quote `symbols'.

Please mention the new variable name.

You can use
(defcustom org-latex-default-table-position nil
as the default value. Then, you can fallback for figure position in the
code when the value is nil. Need to update docstring accordingly.

:version is not needed.

9.6

Can use
(or (plist-get info :latex-default-table-position)
(plist-get info :latex-default-figure-position))
