Thinking about this some more...

I think the -= sb->s_blocksize is needed only for indirect-block based
scheme (due to an implementation quirk in ext4_ind_remove_space()). But
ext4_ext_remove_space() should be fine with punch hole ending right at
sb->s_maxbytes. And since I find it somewhat odd that you can create file
upto s_maxbytes but cannot punch hole to the end, it'd limit that behavior
as much as possible. Ideally we'd fix ext4_ind_remove_space() but I can't
be really bothered for the ancient format...
