Yes, using the PREDUE notice is a way around this, however it would only work if No renewal before is set to 1. 
Having said that there are many benefits to the --send-notice functionality - the end user is notified about the reason why a material is renewed or otherwise - so ideally we would like to be able to use this separate autorenewal notification.
I believe the community bug for this is https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19014 
but in a few brief tests I don't believe it totally fixes the problem, I'm afraid I haven't had a chance to test the fix properly yet though.

I wonder if the regular PREDUE notice is sufficient for that or not? Maybe we don't need a special auto renewal notice, but rather a way to make sure that the PREDUE trigger can't be set to any value > no renewal before?

We actually use OPACUserJS to hide that setting.
