Simplifying a little, if VGL is preloaded then there is no way for an application to ever use the 2D server for GLX, apart from rolling their own protocol which isn't supported anyway. There is just one specific instance, the VGL_PROBEGLX code, that will ever use GLX on the 2D server. If we called buildVisAttribTable() from XOpenDisplay (and later, if more support is added, from xcb_connect()) then we could use a per-connection flag like you suggested, and we'd be guaranteed to be thread safe since we didn't return the connection/Display handle yet.
