Considering this is an extension to DMARC, I don't think that's the target
audience.

As an individual: everyone who reads the document stand-alone gets confused by this lack of clarity (it's the common thread through all the last call reviews so far), and a concise summary up top feels valuable both for this evaluation process, and for any future consumers of the document. Whether someone's familiar with DMARC or not, if they're reading this document, what's the harm in spelling it out very clearly, especially if we have text that we believe accomplishes this?

+1.  If even a small number of people (and the GenART review itself might be enough) thinks it's in need of this kind of improvement, I would be surprised if the IESG sends it back to the working group for revision.  If the goal is to get this thing published so people can start conducting the experiment, putting the work in now can only help you.
