My understanding is that it is possible to manually trigger the binding (by adding eg. i915.force_probe=!56a0 xe.force_probe=56a0 as kernel parameters). Would the fact that its does not bind to hardware by default not mitigate the experimentalness somewhat?
In case you are not aware, there are other major distros is already including it - see below for example for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS where it was enabled for kernel 6.8: ~$ lsb_release -d No LSB modules are available.
