if your threat model is NSA,
 and they get arbitrary physical access,
  you have concerns much larger than insecure default JTAG configurations...

i'd be happy with a device providing system JTAG controller
restrictions (IEEE 1149.1, 1149.6) bound by efuses. most of these
features go un-used in practice. :/
