Ron's talking about the Lovegoods' plans. He's not (yet) including himself in that particular madness.
Why not? Not as a habit, perhaps, but as a contingency plan for something like this:
As a contingency plan for the worst case, yes (and even then, Sirius would likely feel at least conflicted about mind wiping his lover). But to use Obliviation on a guest and lover of Sirius solely so they don't have to interrupt their talk would be far too callous. That's more the realm of a crack story:
"What are you talking about?"
"Obliviate! Look, Sirius, all I am saying is that I think we're taking the secrecy too far."
"Huh? Secrecy? What are you talking about?"
"Obliviate! Harry, trust me, we need to keep those secrets."
"Gargle. Wha...?"
"Obliviate! But Sirius! What if the only ones to know a secret die?"
"Guh... die?"
"Obliviate! Trust the Headmaster, Harry! He has taken precautions!"
"bidibadibuh..."
"Obli... Hm. Think we overdid it?"
"She'll get over it. Now, where were we?"
