But there is no way to determine whether or not S0ix is supported. In
particular, ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 is not one.

"S0ix capable" doesn't matter. What matters is whether or not the
current transition under way is into S0 or into suspend-to-idle. In
the latter case there is no reason to avoid doing whatever is done in
the expectation that S0ix may be entered going forward.
