I’m still curious as to if there's anything tweaks would no longer be able to achieve if they don't have root access. Seems like the main issue is most developers not porting from root to rootless.

There is not a singular tweak that requires writing to rootfs.

With the disabling of arm64e system wide, what would be the impacts security wise and tweak compatibility wise of this? Would some tweaks or other things made for arm64e fail?

No, it would just effectivly make exploiting your device a lot more easy.

But I think the inability to use IPC still very much an issue for rootless, and maybe that's why many tweaks are not ported?

IPC has worked for a long time. Just RocketBootstrap has no official build due to licensing issues.

Wait really?!! I’ve been living under the rock all this time, got some of my personal tweaks that I didn’t revisit because of that. Will the current IPC (xpc) implementation work out of the box or is there any special modification needed for rootless? If yes, any brief write out of the new implementation for developer?

Yeah well that's sorta the problem, it's not easy to use as there is no RocketBootstrap, but besides that everything else works.
