But at the cost our target packages are most likely buggy. We accept
the .la files are a problem and there is a solution (libtool sysroot
support) but we're not there yet.

I'd like to see the other problems addressed, not brushed under the
carpet so to speak.

You can trivially make this work on all files in your
local.conf/distro.conf anyway. I'd not like to see that the default.
