Ah, yes. When I was in LJ fandom for a bit a good friend introduced me to the phrase, your kink is not my kink and that's okay. That's pretty much the philosophy I like to stick to, myself. Content notes are a great way to make this more neutral. (In this category, see also: warning for slash. So not cool.)
But. One thing I'm glad to hear you say is that you will use AO3 style warnings if warnings are required. As someone with (noncon/dubcon) triggers, I appreciate that. Content notes feel harmless to me, like a list of ingredients, but warnings is the section I go to for the things I really need to know about a fic. Now I know there are some kinks that occupy a grey area (where it is a trigger for someone but not conventionally listed as a trigger by fandom) but for the really big ones, I do appreciate it.
