Regarding file capabilties...

This may be a way to avoid suid root. The URL you mentioned however does not point to the needed information:

So far, I am only aware of a Linux distro from Turkey that supports them. What is the state in Redhat? Is it a base feature that cannot be removed from the system?

Are the support-commands always present?

If the feature is not in libc, is the related library always present?

Is is easy to set up a VirtualBox with an installation that allows to check the features on whether they support everything that is needed?

If the basic constraints are met, it may be something that could be added next year.....
