I've been kicking the tyres of this, and it seems to work well:

I have one small nit: if I enter confidentiality mode and then try to
enter xmon, I get 32 messages about clearing the breakpoints each time I
try to enter xmon:
root@dja-guest:~# echo confidentiality > /sys/kernel/security/lockdown
root@dja-guest:~# echo x >/proc/sysrq-trigger
[ 489.585400] sysrq: Entering xmon
xmon: Disabled due to kernel lockdown
xmon: All breakpoints cleared
xmon: All breakpoints cleared
xmon: All breakpoints cleared
xmon: All breakpoints cleared
xmon: All breakpoints cleared
...
Investigating, I see that this is because my vm has 32 vcpus, and I'm
getting one per CPU.
Looking at the call sites, there's only one other caller, so I think you
might be better served with this:
