Doesn't this require the user to use customize-set-variable instead of setq or setq-default ?

Yes, it requires you to use one of the functions I mentioned. You indicated that you wanted to take advantage of defcustom's :set function. Your question has now morphed into a different question. Clearly setq cannot take advantage of defcustom's :set function. Had you made clear your intention I would have mentioned what @phils mentioned: variable watchers.
