If #67934 is likely to land in the next week or so, I'm happy to hold off and base it off #67934. I can take a look at it, but I may need some help understanding how to do that. :)

Does your patch automatically solve this problem @fhahn, i.e. because it walks through every VPInstruction generated in the plan and so essentially there is no extra work needed?
