It seems libvirt's plugin needs wmem_alloc(), for example: https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/issues/17889 IMO it is easier mentally to have a single library ABI policy because we ship only public libraries. Having a more relaxed private shared library policy would make it easier to make mistakes. Also if libwsutil (with wmem_alloc) became private in 3.6.x then libvirt had a much harder time continuing the maintenance of their plugin starting with 3.6.0.
