It matters if you want to trust the status, because "disabled" means
"the status doesn't matter".

If you want the status to stay meaningful, but prevent callbacks from
running, you need something else.

No, because there is no rule by which the status of devices with
PM-runtime disabled must be RPM_SUSPENDED.

Yes, that's right. I guess I've tried to over-optimize the
system-wide suspend-resume case.

Well, see above for the reason. :-)

Basically, yes, but generally that's a mechanism by which callbacks
may be prevented from running without confusion with full disabling of
runtime PM.
