It makes things more complicated for us (accessing a dictionary instead
of options directly), for API users (setting the dictionary plus the
option itself) and for command-line users (extra level of escaping).

Unless we expect the list of things obtained from the URL to grow in the
future, which is unlikely to say the least, I see no benefit compared to
just adding all this at once.

Am I missing something? What benefit would you expect?

On the other hand, since a lot of protocols do some kind of
av_url_split(), it makes sense to factor it.

Why not add all these fields to URLContext and have ffurl_connect()
split the URL, using options if they are available?
