Could you clarify - What has been implemented as opt-in by WhatsApp to act as a hurdle?

Receiving message requests from third-party users. So you have to get the person you know to flip a toggle before they get the message.

Is this a per-contact setting or a "universal" one?

It's a universal setting. You have to enable it per third-party app, though. You get to choose whether you want to see them listed with WhatsApp chats or in a separate folder

Account-wide. Though you can only turn it on in Europe.

When you say Europe you mean the EU? I'm not seeing an option in the UK. (Yay Brexit)

Each whatsapp user needs to enable the setting once to allow chats with multiple number of third party users.
