I don't follow how you came to this conclusion...
 The ACS bits we'd be turning off are the ones that force TLPs addressed
at a peer to go to the RC. However, ATS translation packets will be
addressed to an untranslated address which a switch will not identify as
a peer address so it should send upstream regardless the state of the
ACS Req/Comp redirect bits.

Once the translation comes back, the ATS endpoint should send the TLP to
the peer address with the AT packet type and it will be directed to the
peer provided the Direct Translated bit is set (or the redirect bits are
unset).

I can't see how turning off the Req/Comp redirect bits could break
anything except for the isolation they provide.
