So you want one extra step for those guys who are dealing with the
latest head?
IMO the change frequency of autogenerated files like configure isn't
too high to save larger commit diffs caused by this fileclass.

Where do you see a problem after changing some code which needs an
update of the configure.in stuff to rebuild configure by the developer
and check this in?
As long all dev members are using the same autoconf version I don't
see a big problem.

Is it safer to don't commit those file for the development process?
