I just tried this and the example I gave still seems to be working.

This if for checkbox/multiselect field type

add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_589c6d5477f05', 'set_tax_default');
function set_tax_default($field) {
	$field['default_value'] = array(3,4);
	return $field;
}

and this works for radio and single select

add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_589c6d5477f05', 'set_tax_default');
function set_tax_default($field) {
	$field['default_value'] = 3;
	return $field;
}

The value needs to match the term ID(s) of the default values you want to set.
