Hi,
I don't think this configurable would work good.
The default order status is the status for an order when HikaShop would create one.
His value is "created" and you can change it only if you want to change the order status workflow.
With your configuration, a customer does not require to pay an order because, when he would create the order (validate the checkout), the order would be directly in "confirmed".
