It is possible to exclude fields from cloning (which is great) but it would be handy if the module could be configured to use default values set for the content type if a field is excluded.

Yes you can do this is module configuration page - /admin/config/quick-node-clone

Yes, you can exclude a field but a field excluded from cloning does not get the default value of the field. The field is only wiped clean of content. Just tested this on simplytest.me and Quick node clone v. 8.x-1.13.

My suggestion would be: if a field is chosen to be excluded add a checkbox with "Use default value of the field".

I encountered a similar situation, and what I did was to set the default value using \Drupal::service('entity_field.manager')->getFieldDefinitions($entity_type, $bundle);

I hope this information can be helpful. Below are more details:
