What happens in the future when a new driver is added without (in its intial
version) MB ndo_xdp_xmit support? Is MB support for ndo_xdp_xmit going to be a
requirement for a driver (with ndo_xdp_xmit) to be accepted to the kernel?

I'm not arguing against removing this check in the future, I'm just wondering
if we need a different mechanism than outright prohibiting XDP_REDIRECT with MB
to protect against the redirected device not having MB support?
