We're currently implementing a DMS too and this was also a requirement for us. I've checked the possibilities last week. Unfortonately, CSOM currently doesn't provide a way to set this property at the library-level (only at Item-level like you said). I've noticed (after configuring though the browser) the property is ultimately stored in the List's Schema XML but CSOM doesn't provide a way to modify this Schema directly.

I bet for now your only option to modify this setting in an automated way, would be through the HTTP Remote Operation pattern described in VesaJuvonen's blog below:

I was hoping to avoid screen scraping if possible but it was going to be my fall back option. It’s just a little messy and prone to issues.

Hopefully a fully supported option will be added to csom and other methods soon.
