A user space process should not need the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability set in order to perform a BLKREPORTZONE ioctl. Getting the zone report is required in order to get the write pointer. Neither read() nor write() requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN, so it is reasonable that a user space process that can read/write from/to the device, also can get the write pointer. (Since e.g. writes have to be at the write pointer.)
