Recommendation: conform to existing practice.

Since none of the most common implementation of 'df' return inode
information without '-i' perhaps it would be more productive to conform
POSIX to standard practice.

Standard practice is what systems admins expect, what their scripts
reflect, and what POSIX should standardize unless there is a compelling
reason to change differ.

The default behavior of 'df', whether including '-k' or not is:

  Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% MountPoint

Neither 512K blocks nor inodes are returned.  This is because that
information is rarely what users of this utility want.
