That's bollocks, uprobes is an utter and total mis-match for utrace.
Probing userspace is primarily about DSOs which is files and vma's, not
tasks.

You might maybe want a utrace interface to that, but that is largely
non-interesting.

IOW, we don't need utrace to make sensible use of uprobes.

(And when I speak of uprobes I mean the thing formerly called UBP)
