TDX is kinda similar. _All_ accesses are private if paging is disabled because the shared bit is either bit 48 or bit 51 in the GPA, i.e. can't be reached if paging is disabled. The vCPU is hardcoded to start in unpaged protected mode, so at least some amount of guest memory needs to be private. I also could've sworn code fetches from shared memory would #VE, but I can't find anything in the specs that confirm that. I may be conflating TDX with SGX's #GP on a code fetch outside of ELRANGE...
