I don't think so. I think the fact that this is per-gather-node rather than per-statement right now is basically a defect. Once we have a per-statement limit, I see no value in having the per-gather-node setting. So, yes, at that point, I would push to rename the GUC.
How big is the hazard of future-naming this and documenting the present limitation? Is the casual user reading explains even going to be aware of that particular implementation detail?
