I guess the Arch wiki on Apple keyboards does a good job to keep users updated.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Apple_Keyboard

I work for the t2linux community involving users with T2 Macs, and I guess the previous module parameters in the driver were being used by the users. Although I ain't aware about any softwares which make using these parameters easy, although I guess a simple bash script placed in /usr/bin can be made to make things easy. I had made a similar one for the Touch Bar driver for the Macs (the driver shall be sent to you soon btw!)

We also have tools like xmodmap which can do the same function as these module parameters do, and if used, we actually don’t need the module parameters. But these tools are a bit unreliable and a bit difficult to set up as compared to module parameters, as per the feedback received from various Mac users.

I guess I was able to clarify what all you asked :)

Aditya
