Keeping in mind that this kfunc is not a necessity for other prog types
which can already overwrite packets, like TC.

Yes to both.

Aside, could I have your opinion on this part of the cover letter before
I proceed to fix these patches:

These two ideas would make it more natural for cgroup_skb progs but
would prevent someone to extend it to more prog types in the future.
