There appears to have been some discussion around this already here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/245629/, but it hasn't moved in over a month. I want Ironic's implementation of policy to be as 'standard' as possible; but I've had trouble finding any kind of standard.

I think the link you posted is specifically for standardizing what it 
should be. All of this seems very new, I suspect we will see guidelines 
appearing when common-default-policy lands.
