There are plenty of people trying to assign their primary graphics device, it makes perfect sense for someone that doesn't intend to run a graphical environment on the host. Assigning the primary GPU can be more challenging, but that doesn't mean it isn't done. For daggs, I can only say try it yourself, I don't know of any specific reason it wouldn't work, but direct assignment of IGD is a fair bit of luck anyway since the hardware is constantly changing and we don't really keep up with it. You might need to play with the x-igd-gms value on the vfio-pci device in QEMU, several people have found that x-igd-gms=1 is necessary on some versions of hardware.
