I'd prefer avoid this solution to not lose the address 0x08.

Do you mean having the adapter walk through childs node and see if at least
one of them have the host-notify property ? This mean that such solution
wouldn't work for device relying on platform data rather than DT nodes.

You mean at adapter registration time only ? Not device probing time ?
At probing time, we could have the core (i2c_device_probe) check for the flag
HOST_NOTIFY and if setted call a dedicated host-notify reg callback ?
