Why don't you use:
.devfs_name = "net/tun",

That seems fine, if it will do the job.

Or fix userspace apps? Or switch to udev with devfs rules emulated and a
rule for the tun/tap driver?

This is a stable kernel series; these kinds of userspace-breakage changes are not supposed to happen. Personally I have already started migrating my systems to udev, but it will take some time to complete that. Regardless, this would be a userspace-incompatible change if using .devfs_name won't do the job.
