No app pref or settings-based override method that I know, but it can
be accomplished easily enough with a quick mod to the applicable Deck
Template(s) -- which are all just basic, tab-delimited text files.

On my Mac, they're all sitting in:

Applications > Avid Media Composer > SupportingFiles > Machine_Templates

For each one you want to change...

1. Dupe the original, rename as desired (e.g. "Sony_J-H3_24P.txt" >>
"Sony_J-H3_24P_SLOWCUE.txt")
2. Open in Text Edit or similar.
3. Find the line "Fastcue Foo" where Foo = "Yes", "True" or "1" (if
feature is enabled)
4. Change "Foo" to its logical opposite (if "Yes" then "No", if
"True" then "False", if "1" then "0"). Just type over the existing
text making sure that the TAB between "Fastcue" and "Foo" remains
intact.
5. Save changes.
6. ?????
7. PROFIT !!!!!

Since you Autoconfigure your decks, you'll want to get the original
version out of that folder so it won't load instead of the mod (I
don't know if they all have the SBVDeviceCode item to match template
to machine - but the ones that do will obviously not know which one
you want).

If you want Fast Cue back on temporarily, just enable it in the deck
config settings (the same way you're turning if off manually now).

You'll need to quit / relaunch the app to reload the modified
templates, and you'll need to transport and install those changes to
whatever system you work on (sorry). Petition the folks in Tewk...
ehhh... Burlington to add that item to the Deck Preferences setting
(where the stuff like "Poll Deck on Digital Cut" resides now).
