KSZ8795 manual says:

TABLE 4-4: PORT REGISTERS
Bit 2: Tag insertion
1 = When packets are output on the port, the switch
will add 802.1q tags to packets without 802.1q tags
when received. The switch will not add tags to
packets already tagged. The tag inserted is the
ingress port’s “Port VID.”
0 = Disable tag insertion.

Bit 1: Tag Removal
1 = When packets are output on the port, the switch
will remove 802.1q tags from packets with 802.1q
tags when received. The switch will not modify
packets received without tags.
0 = Disable tag removal.

What I understand from this is that the "Tag Removal" bit controls
whether the port will send all VLANs as egress-untagged or not.

Whereas the "Tag insertion" bit controls whether the pvid of the ingress
port will be sent as egress-tagged (if the insertion bit is 1), or as-is
(probably egress-untagged) (if the insertion bit is 0) on the egress
port.

I deduce that the "Tag Removal" bit overrules the "Tag insertion" bit of
a different port, if both are set. Example:

lan0:               lan1
pvid=20
Tag insertion=1     Tag removal=0

An untagged packet forwarded from lan0 to lan1 should be transmitted as
egress-tagged, because lan0 is configured to insert its pvid into the
frames.

But:

lan0:               lan1
pvid=20
Tag insertion=1     Tag removal=1

An untagged packet forwarded from lan0 to lan1 should be transmitted as
untagged, because even though lan0 inserted its pvid into the frame,
lan1 removed it.

Based on my interpretation of the manual, I believe you have a lot more
work to do than simply operating "by logic". You can test, but I don't
believe that the PORT_INSERT_TAG flag affects the port on which the
switchdev VLAN object is supposed to be offloading. On the contrary: it
affects every other port in the same bridge _except_ for that one.
