One question, do all filesystem supporting xattrs deal with setting them
on symlinks/device files correctly?

Wrote a simple bash script to do setfattr/getfattr user.foo xattr on
symlink and device node on ext4, xfs and btrfs and it works fine.

How about nfs, tmpfs, overlayfs and/or some of the other less conventional
filesystems?

As a suggestion, perhaps you could take your bash script and turn it
into an xfstests test so we can more easily test various file systems,
both now and once the commit is accepted, to look for regressions?

Cheers,
