Me too. I think, copying the line
\set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)
from the docs does not need programming skills, if it is easily found in
the docs.

However, by far the most frequent usage of \times is the triplet. Is
there a possibility to either
  a) split after the number of notes in the denominator* or
  b) according to the base moment of the metre or
  c) a combination of both?

  *for equal durations in the tuplet.

Then, \times 2/3 would be different from \times 4/6. This might still
need tweaking in non-standard tuplets like \times 2/3 { c16 c d8 e }.
