I believe it's already the default for UEFI boots, as UEFI without CSM cannot support kern.vty=sc, and CSM is usually disabled on UEFI boot. Some motherboards could support such a config, though, not standard. For legacy BIOS boot, if things does NOT changed after the last time I've checked years ago, defaulted kern.vty=sc and can be overridden to vt via /boot/loader.conf.
