If someone has set deadlock_timeout to, say, 30s or 60s, they've already signaled they don't need frequent lock-wait feedback. Logging every 10s after a 60s deadlock_timeout feels inconsistent with that intent.

Yeah, IMHO, preserving the existing behavior is preferable. Logically, client_connection_check_interval and log_lock_waitsbelong to two different departments. Even though they cross paths at the implementation level today, having the behavior of log_lock_waits change just because client_connection_check_interval is adjusted seems surprising.
