The goal of blk-mq was to solve the issues around those systems, while at the same time provide a more modern infrastructure in general. It was never the intent to make blk-mq exclusive to higher end systems or devices, in fact quite the opposite. The goal is to slowly deprecate the old IO stack and switch everything (as far as we can) to blk-mq.
