Do you think there would be an actual problem, or are you just being
cautious?

It seems to me - in general - stop_machine could just be defined to be a
no-op (ie, just directly calls the callback) until enough SMP is
initialized for it to make sense, rather than having to make every user
work around it (if there's a chance they might call it early).

Like so?

This allows jump-label entries to be modified early, in a pre-SMP
environment.
