No.  For this binding, the default is big-endian, because that's what
existed for this device before an endian property was added.

"endianness of the system" is not a well-defined concept.

Since when does simple-bus mean anything more than that the nodes
underneath it can be used without bus-specific knowledge?

Documented where?

In fact, Documentation/devicetree/bindings/common-properties.txt
explicitly says of the endian properties, "If a binding supports these
properties, then the binding should also specify the default behavior if
none of these properties are present."
