We are trying to make Sandbox IR as generic as possible, so that it can be used in other contexts if needed. GlobalIFunc and a few others are indeed quite exotic and won't probably be used.

It can, but we would rather not rely on it if possible. It's better to have a Sandbox IR class for something exotic, even it's missing some functionality compared to LLVM IR, rather than having an opaque object.
