Personally I think the defaults are too aggressive, they certainly stop just about all spam, but also stop wanted mail from popular free accounts etc.
I have even found the dnsbl.njabl.org list blocks some popular free accounts that sme users wish to receive from.
I was not involved in deciding the sme7 defaults, so do not know the rationale behind their selection/inclusion.
Yes, there were a couple of lists that went defunct and that did stop all mail from being received, unfortunately. The 3 conservative lists appear stable and have been for a long time now.
Perhaps the situation should be swapped around. The database defaults should only be zen.spamhaus.org:whois.rfc-ignorant.org:dnsbl.njabl.org and the other lists (that are defaults now) can be referred to in the wiki as additional lists that can be used, but with a warning that they are aggressive, so use with care and an understanding of what sources will be rejected.
