I don't get it.

First, you can't do any of this based on config -- it must be runtime.

Second, and more importantly, I don't see how XONLY helps at all.  The
(non-executable) text that's exposed to user code in EMULATE mode is
trivial to get right with CET -- your code already handles it.  It's
the emulation code (that runs identically in EMULATE and XONLY mode)
that's tricky.
