I always thought that we're restricting p->uclamp_req[UCLAMP_MIN].value (default 1024) to
sysctl_sched_rt_default_uclamp_util_min (0-1024)?

Yeah, I read https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20200415074600.GA26984@darkstar again.

Everything which moves enforcing sysctl_sched_rt_default_uclamp_util_min closer to 'uclamp_eff_get() -> 
uclamp_(tg_)restrict()' is fine with me.
