Does chattr +i affect st_dev? If not, then it is beyond the scope of

The issue has larger scope than you propose to address, true. Users
would have
to understand what subset of the problem space your implementation
addresses in
order to understand the tool's output. I.E. we'd have to know how the
code is
written to use it.
Right now ls is reporting the readdir()/stat() output, with any
overlays on that
being the user's problem. Inconsistently automating specific special
cases on
top of that does not seem like it would make life simpler.
