As for it being an optional thing, no. The point is to push people into being creative and devious. Making it opt-in only defeats the purpose of reaching the exact sort of artless rampagers it's meant to address. You can certainly opt-out - but your alternative would be non-antag, not full-fledged traitor.
If existing traitors want to go hardmode, they already have the option via macrobomb.
Also by having a role dedicated entirely to being devious, we could see more secret devious options pop up.
This is a role practically dedicated to ghetto weapons and home made explosives.
