To me it wasn't obvious that DEF_FIELD() has certain endianness limitations.

As you have mentioned in patch #3: the limitations of TO_NATIVE(), if
you can update comments for DEF_FIELD() as well to make it clear that
it doesn't support byte arrays/strings would be helpful. I think the
following check that you have introduced in patch #3 can still be
bypassed for byte arrays/strings.

+ _Static_assert(sizeof(x) == 1 || sizeof(x) == 2 || \
+       sizeof(x) == 4 || sizeof(x) == 8, "bug");

BTW, for this fix feel free to add:
