I would say you nearly always want to change at least the number of 
spares. The default values for creating a dRAID without setting anything 
are 0 spares and 8 devices per redundancy group (if disks >=8). The 
advantage of dRAID is fast rebuilding of a broken disk which you will 
only get (as far as I read) when you have spares configured.

The data devices per redundancy group would be possible to hide. But 
they have an impact on performance depending on the number chosen as 
well as storage usage. I'm not sure that it makes sense hiding one value 
of the two. I will think about it ;).
