Yes, I also prefer recursive page table programming. In fact, the first hypervisor we ported for RISC-V was Xvisor and over there have recursive page table programming for both stage1 and stage2.
BTW, 48bit VA and guest physical address is already defined in latest RISC-V spec. It's just that there is not HW (or QEMU) implementation as of now for 4-level page table.
I will certainly add this to our TODO list.
