Then there needs to be a way for codecs and machines to force this bit if
the PCM driver didn't set it.

IMHO joint duplex is a hack that works only by chance.
Constraints that depend on the configuration of the first stream on open of the
second stream are no longer valid when the first stream is closed.
It is also not possible to add constraints when the first stream has been opened
but not yet configured.
