(1) Would it be possible to allow dev_pm_domain_set() for already
    bound devices? (It would allow me to simplify this series
    considerably.)
I don't think so, because setting a PM domain generally changes the
set of PM callbacks for the device and it may not be safe to call it
after the driver has been bound.
That sounds more like a locking problem than anything else.

If the system is awake and the device is active, it would seem safe
to change its set of PM callbacks. Am I missing something?

How about checking in dev_pm_domain_set() if pm_runtime_active(dev)
Realistically, you'd need to disable runtime PM too or at least bump up
the usage count.
and calling lock_system_sleep() / unlock_system_sleep() to ensure that?
That might work.

Thanks,
Rafael
