Just what you said, it's not easy and the needs are limited.  I
implemented kvm_vcpu_check_breakpoint because I was interested in
using hardware breakpoints from gdb, even with unrestricted_guest=0
and invalid guest state, but that's it.
It seems kvm_vcpu_check_breakpoint() handles only for code breakpoint
and doesn't handle for data breakpoints.
Correct, there's a comment above the call.  But data breakpoint are much
harder and relatively less useful.

Data breakpoints are actually quite useful. I/O breakpoints not so much.

Normally yes; much less for the specific case of debugging invalid-guest-state or other invocations of the emulator.
