Right, and you are probably one of the users this work targets. But in general, for those not very familiar with virtualization/qemu, we want to steer them far clear of this API. That goes doubly true for application developers; we want them to be able to use a stable, long-term API and not have to worry about the nitty-gritty details of the monitor. It's that latter group that we want to make sure doesn't use this API.
With qmp, we have a stable long term API, and the nitty-gritty details are easily hidden behind a stock json parser (unfortunately some rpc details remain). The command line is baroque, but the libvirt xml isn't so pretty either.
The problem is a user that starts with libvirt and outgrows its featureset. Do we want them to fall back to qmp?
