I mean that if it is an ARM standard feature it should be prefixed "arm,"

Via the architecture of the SoC https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug1085-zynq-ultrascale-trm.pdf I know that the A53 cluster can see the absolute addresses of the R5 cluster so the translation is *I think* done as you describe with the CP15 instructions you listed.

It seems like the TCM memories are von Neumann type (either can
contain both code and
data) which removes one of my worries. According to this data sheet
they are also nothing
ARM-provided but a Xilinx invention, and just happen to be hardcoded
at the same address
as TCM memories in ARM32, what a coincidence.

So I take it this is the correct view and you can proceed like this,
sorry for the fuzz.
