@Jdforrester-WMF agrees this is a good idea, but after Christmas break.

Event Timeline
I concur this is a good idea: when not configured, it doesn't create anything, but once enabled, any admin / interface editor can configure it.
There are a couple default tours (e.g. 'test', 'firstedit'), but those also don't impact users unless they specifically navigate to them.

Enable GuidedTour on all wikis
User notice
Could you announce this in the next tech news?
Notify also them the default tours aren't usable without the requirements noted at T153000.
@MaxSem doesn't think we should SWAT this and, after reflexion, I concur: the guided tour has well been tested on en. and other wikis, but to enable to all wikis is indeed something more like a new feature.
@Mattflaschen-WMF a dedicated deployment window would be better so, when do you think we should plan this?
That's been a subtask (blocker) of this, which means we should not be deploying the all-wiki change until that is done.
Good news is the T153000 patch is ready for re-review (Roan reviewed it before and I just fixed a minor issue he ID'ed).
I'm proposing to do this April 25th. @Jdforrester-WMF okayed that, I'm confirming with @Dereckson.

@Dereckson already got (via email, he hadn't added it yet, I will now) the slot you asked for (via email) to do a new wiki creation. :)
Actually, I was wrong, or his edit is wrong. It's at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments#deploycal-item-20170425T1100 (11:00 UTC Tuesday/04:00 Pacific). So, yeah, 5am on Monday is still open.

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2017-04-24T14:39:43Z] <matt_flaschen> Deployment of T152827 ("Enable GuidedTour on all wikis") complete and tested
Q: Does this change affect wikis, which have enabled Guided tours already? (like cswiki)
No. It has no effect on any wiki that already had GuidedTours; for those that didn't, they can now configure tours locally.
