I think it works pretty well as is.

It's a strange variable that doesn't seem to do anything. The only
relevant setting is 0 or non-zero (the default). Setting it to 0 seems
to do nothing. Maybe someone could explain what it actually does.

There's no reason for a defun to not start on a newline. And there's
nothing else that makes "(" be on a new line, except for rare cases in
docstrings, where it can be escaped. So it seems that the problem is
already solved in a good way, without having to customize anything.
