Well, there should definitely be a way to run a "get current best
tuning advice" for those times when I go and do something like add a
Gig of RAM. ;-)

Also, I'm sure the tuning advice will change over time, so having to
do initdb to get that advice would be a bit onerous.

As long as initdb has an option for just getting the tuning info, I
see no reason to make it separate.
