You should use templates; the [general] section never should been an
implicit template, but it has been that way forever so we can't change
it. The [general] section *should* have only been for settings that
apply to the SIP channel driver as a whole, and *not* for providing
defaults to entities configured for the driver. Unfortunately, it has
both purposes.
