Postfix already has a configuration page for SPF [0], albeit requiring a package from universe. So although removing the SPF snippet from Exim could be an option in the short-term, I do think in the long-term Ubuntu's SPF support for Exim should be somewhat equivalent to that of Postfix's.
Adding a fragile snippet to a docs would come with the same caveats as including a fragile snippet in the stock Exim config, just with less culpability. Ultimately using Exim's native SPF facility, i.e. that of libspf2, is the right approach in my mind.
