Is MEV available only in nested mode? Otherwise it perhaps makes
sense to turn it on in all configurations in IOMMUFD paths...
I think the arm-smmu-v3's iommufd implementation only supports nested
which could be the reason.
I think starting with MEV in this limited case is reasonable.

I agree it makes sense to always turn it on from a production
perspective..
