Two options here:
We're leaning toward option (2) right now to keep the opt in/opt out logic in a single place. That would involve making a new "wgDTUsesParsoidByDefault" config option for ParserMigration and then turning this on for wikitech.

Drawback to the full-namespace approach is that it won't perfectly align with DT's activation (check out HookUtils.php in DT, specifically the isAvailableForTitle method). So long as you don't mind this it's fine, I just want to make sure you're aware. 😁
It will be applied to more pages, not less: the only way to for non-talk namespaces to have visual enhancements is using __NEWSECTIONLINK__, but that’s virtually unused on Wikitech (used only on two random user pages; the other six are false positives).
