I suppose that's a case of security vs convenience. Having an allow list would
be more secure, but less convenient - especially for plugins. 

What are the potential threats? Malicious Perl plugins? Other parts of the
system sending malicious messages to RabbitMQ?

Malicious Perl plugins are already a problem. Malicious messages would have to
be extremely well crafted and even then... unlikely to do any harm especially
if we used a hook like "run_koha_background_task".
