Wouldn't it make sense to simply modify the watchdog= semantics
slightly: When given a numeric value, it specifies the timeout (and zero
disables as before), while when given any value parse_bool() accepts
the timeout remains at the default and the watchdog just gets turned
on.

The only ambiguity with the current possible values would be
watchdog=1, and I think having the meaning of this changed is
acceptable.
