It is indeed.

>>> I didn't consciously check for devices not entered in the device_filter.xml, but I entered "my" PID/VID pair quite late in the development cycle. I also have seen and used the "ask permission" popup which happens when a device not in device_filter.xml is used. I will test this tomorrow by removing "my" entry from the device_filter.xml.

That sounds excellent to me. I can test this and then merge the PR.

That was my plan. I'll do the UI / integration work and we'll figure out what's needed on the driver side to make this work.

So exciting!
