Probably there is an answer now :). But Yes, I'm okay with doing that,
Xfstests is already part for our nightly 6.1 testing.

Yes, I did run the full xfstests to confirm no regression. we do
regularly run the latest stable xfstests version with loopback
setup. and we run 'xfs/quick' group over x86_64 & arm64 to catch any
regression. I'll make sure to post to xfs list first next time :)

our setup looks similar to this:

sudo fallocate -l 5G $MOUNT_POINT/block-xfs.img
sudo mkfs.xfs -f -m reflink=1 $MOUNT_POINT/block-xfs.img
sudo losetup -f $MOUNT_POINT/block-xfs.img
sudo mkdir -p $MOUNT_POINT/test
sudo mount /dev/loop0 $MOUNT_POINT/test

sudo fallocate -l 5G $MOUNT_POINT/block-xfs-scratch.img
sudo losetup -f $MOUNT_POINT/block-xfs-scratch.img

local.config:
export DISABLE_UDF_TEST=1
export TEST_DEV=/dev/loop0
export TEST_DIR=$MOUNT_POINT/test
export SCRATCH_MNT=$MOUNT_POINT/scratch
export SCRATCH_DEV=/dev/loop1
