I've always felt that code style changes should be opt-in at a file level, or even sub-file for particularly large files. Linting is valuable, but fighting the linter when you're trying to solve an unrelated bug makes it harder to compare the diff during code review.
Having it be opt-in lets you change over 1 file or major section at a time, without burdening small PRs. It even opens the door to a lot of minor contributions, as the process of fixing lint issues in a large number of files is a pretty large chore that doesn't take any particular knowledge or context of the codebase.
