Hm, I see, so apparently/obviously other build systems are affected by
this as well.

By overriding, do you mean, that package maintainers have to that
manually via

%:
	dh --without autoreconf

Or did you mean something else?

Ideally dh_update_autotools_config and dh_autoreconf are only run if the
active build system is autotools.
Is it possible to change dh to only add the autoreconf sequence
depending on whether autotools is the active build system (not just
autodetected).

Or is it possible to decide this from within the
dh_update_autotools_config and dh_autoreconf helpers so they are always
run but become a nop if buildsystem != autotools ?
