Setting the FUA bit on any READ command (if supported by the device)
is entirely in line with the behaviour the standards.  It's just not
going to do what you hope.  And while you claim that it helps you
with data recovery, you've not shown either a practical example where
it does, or a theory based on hardware architeture how it could.

Please joing the NVMe technical working group and write a proposal.
NVMe requires you to clearly state the benefits of the proposal, which
means you have to actually clearly write that down first.
