Yes, I would like to know of any performance change with an IOMMU
enabled and then with an IOMMU enabled and including my series.

ok, but do you have a system where the UFS host controller is behind an
IOMMU? I had the impression that UFS controllers would be mostly found
in embedded systems and IOMMUs are not as common on there.
