I have not looked at the public event table. But my recollection from the
unofficial table is that it was not that bad.  I guess some y.z could be
hardcoded.

As for uncore, that's a new component. It exposes a  set of counters
at the socket level. Events cover mostly memory traffic analysis which
is very good.

I will release support for core and uncore. But uncore will be
restricted to system-wide sessions only. It does not make sense
to support this for per-thread session, as there is no correlation
possible with a PID or even a CPU.

If I recall PAPI is per-thread only, so you shoud not worry about uncore.
