At this point, Libvirt still doesn't fully support incremental backup and it is still considered a technological preview. When libvirt will fully support it we can do the same. I am currently setting it to 4.4.6 since libvirt should support it at RHEL-8.4.0 which is expected to arrive around that version. > At this point, Libvirt still doesn't fully support incremental backup and it is still considered a technological preview.

Probably, enable this service by default not cause any risks. To use them, customer need special API call, if you place "experimental functional" alert in documentation this will more than enough.
But, this service required for any new backup products.
The special API call added for raising the user awareness that he choose to use a feature that is still in the technological-preview phase. Since this feature handles VMs backups we want the user to be fully aware of that fact. The feature will be enabled by default once it is fully supported by all the other layers of the product and after it will be fully tested and covered. Verified on RHV build name: rhv-4.4.5-7 After re-deployment of the engine (clean install) + provision with all of the basic assets, the 4.5 cluster has incremental backup feature enabled by default.
