The rationale is that it is okay to advertise these features with
software fallback as bonding/teaming "hardware" features, because
there will always be a downstream device for which they will be
implemented, possibly in the software fallback, correct?
That does not apply to dummy or IFB. I guess dummy is fine, because
xmit is a black hole, and IFB because ingress can safely handle these
packets? How did you arrive at the choice of changing these two, of
all virtual devices?
