I absolutely see the appeal for XIP here! I just have been sufficiently traumatized by Android devices that anything that breaks the ability to follow upstream makes me nervous. I'm sure it's workable here, both because this is a recent enough version that it'll be supported for a long time and because I expect it can be ported forward if really needed. (And of course, at this point it's not like this is a real production thing so as an experiment who cares.)
