Yes, an option for virt-install would be nice. Ideally virt-install/virt-xml
would allow configuring every domain XML option

Maybe. Can you describe the usecase? How many fields are we talking about?

I think it only makes sense to add to virt-manager if it's really essential
information for some particular usecase. Probably only if it's required at
install time, otherwise we can just point people at using virt-xml on the
command line which is easier to document.
