I can work around an unset TERM.  But what if TERM=="" or TERM=="nonsense"?
Checking whether TERM is a valid terminal name goes too far, in my opinion.

Also, is the 'vt100' terminal description guaranteed to exist?  I ask,
because 'dumb' and 'vt52' are not good enough for nano (ncurses) to work
properly, and 'ansi' leaves the cursor invisible on a VTE-based terminal.
