I am asking if that would be acceptable?
i.e. we represent MC bus as Named component is IORT table with a pool of IDs (without single ID mapping flag)
and then we use the Platform MSI framework for all children devices of MC bus.
Note that it would require the Platform MSI layer to correctly pass an input id for a platform device to IORT layer.
And IORT layer ought to retrieve the output id based on single ID mapping flag as well as input id.

Yes. It's being done for all DT systems having ITS node.
The domain creation is handled in drivers/bus/fsl-mc/fsl-mc-msi.c

We associate the above created domain with dpaa2 device here:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/bus/fsl-mc/dprc-driver.c#L640

Then fsl_mc_msi_domain_alloc_irqs, retrieves the domain associated with device and calls the msi_prepare
API from its_fsl_mc_msi_prepare.
