I think they are no technical objection and not to difficult to implement. (I need to read the qemu doc)

(But live-migration don't work with Virtio--Blk-Data-Plane)

Yes that's why i'm always staring at Virtio--Blk-Data-Plane but isn't 
it unstable right now and has a lot of missing features? 

If i remember correctly there were some reasons why it is not available 
in PVE right now.
