In my current experiments in GEGL (which has serialization/parsing of
XCF2 like XML now), I have not set any restriction on what
filters/composers (compositing modes) can be used. I probably already
use more such modes than photoshop support.

The bigger question is which compositing modes should be in a baseline
specification for OpenRaster, the classic over operator is the only
one that is 100% mandatory.
