I was thinki9ng about just this issue yesterday, and there is a simpler
solution than even what you provided.  Since USETOOLS=yes is intended to be
used with top-level builds, and USETOOLS=no with one-off or partial tree
builds, it's actually rather easy to default it to "no" in bsd.own.mk and
set it, with MAKEFLAGS propagation, in src/Makefile.

I'll make the appropriate change and document it in the toolchain design doc
that will be checked in this evening.
