Most applications don't need ACL support, and even udisks2 only seems to "need" it to set the ACL when creating that directory, but seems to work fine otherwise if the directory is created manually without the ACL.
(It is also the only location in the udisks2 sources where any ACL-functions are used.)

Maybe the ACL is needed on the distro/system of the upstream developer, but he never tested this code on other systems/distros? Maybe it's related to systemd or selinux? (Or maybe there are some circumstances that need the ACL that are not applicable to my system?)
