From what I’ve observed, ~0.8W s2idle is already better than Windows (~1W).
0.3W is what I see during S5.

The XPS 9370 at my hand does reach to s0ix during s2idle:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/pmc_core/slp_s0_residency_usec
15998400

So I think keep the root port in D0 is not the culprit here.
Maybe something is wrong on the ASPM settings?
