I noticed that both muxers convert audio to signed 16-bit PCM by default. Is there a way to avoid this behavior without specifying a codec?

No, 16-bit PCM is the default audio codec. If no `-c` is specified for a stream, ffmpeg will encode using the default codec. But if `-c X` is declared where X=`copy` or something else, then that is honored.
