I wonder if it wouldn't be better to make them required (at least VCC) -
it is closer to reality.

As I said before, specs[1] says about "/PDWN" pin. Is it your typo, or
different docs?
Moreover there are already bindings for THC63LVDM83D with the same
dichotomy [2].

Out of curiosity I have googled for "pwnd pin" and it looks like some
vendors use this form.
For me both forms are quite misleading: power down signal, active low,
why they couldn't call it just 'enable, active high'.

And here another variation :), should be pdwn-gpios.
