arm64 qemu should work, as it is using the same video hardware as x86_64.
My computing resources are severely limited right now, so I cannot try it
out immediately unfortunately, but I'll get to it, or you are welcome to
try and report.
Mips can be either fixed like suggested, or be a specific exception.

For the rest of the targets, I see that you have extended the fbdev
fallback to qemuall only on Jan 9 this year. So it's very unlikely anyone
is using them to run weston (not to mention how painfully slow that would
be), and so it would just be wasteful to test or fix them.
