I'm just worried about the accumulation of what feels like ad hoc namespaces, causing a very large combination matrix, a lot of which don't make sense.

Hmm, if we were to just call this CLONE_NEWDEV, would that (a) make
sense and (b) suitably address your (certainly valid) concern?

Basically for now CLONE_NEWDEV wouldn't yet be fully implemented, only
unsharing unix98 ptys...

That would make sense to me. Also see Eric's note about uevent, however; and there are probably other issues like it.
