encoding=utf-8 is a "sane default" but it's no business of a plugin to
set it, if only because plugins are sourced near the end of startup, and
in more or less random order (if you're lucky they will be sourced in
alphabetical order; this is the case on Linux but I'm less sure of
Windows). A script advocating "sane defaults" should not be written as a
plugin, but as something that you can source from somewhere near the top
of your vimrc. The vimrc_example.vim for example, sets IMHO quite a lot
of very sane defaults, but it is not a plugin.
