I don't think it makes much difference in terms of complexity from the QEMU side. I proposed those because query-commands and query-events already exist, so adding the missing ones seemed the most straightforward solution to me. But if query-schema is more convenient I don't have any problem with that. > Here's how I'd try to do that.
