Does cabal -j also suffer from interleaved output?
No; when the -j flag is turned on it uses an abbreviated output format that just tells you *what* it is doing (downloading XYZ package, configuring foo, building baz...) but not the details, with the details going to a separate log file for each package. There may soon also be a way to use it with hydra-print which could be nice.
And will it be possible to set e.g. -j12 as the default?
Yes, edit your ~/.cabal/config and add/uncomment the line jobs: 12 -Brent
