Indeed, this is my expectation. IIRC the hardware watchdog initially defined in SBSA was intended for bare metal use to have something people could start implementing while we worked on the future (the language around register frames relates to secure/non-secure ELs in my recollection). For now, I expect an emulated watchdog for VMs, which ideally would be a software implementation of the same SBSA watchdog.
