We would then have to find someone willing to write that stub SMTP
client, maintain it, provide assistance to users...
Couldn't we just recommend people to install a modern and full-featured
MTA like Postfix to benefit from DSN (Delivery Status Notifications) and
configure bounces?
Any stub client we could write ourselves would be far inferior than
well-spread and tested MTAs...

These options could be mentioned for sendmail in a comment in the
inn.conf sample file like you suggested. Or the sample could explicitly
say to refer to the mta documentation in the inn.conf manual page (as
documentation is updated with news versions of INN whereas configuration
files are kept untouched, so any changes in comments won't be seen).
