Right now, I cannot gain access to the "monitor" in

I cannot issue something like "savevm", "loadvm", or "commit

unable to send Ctrl key sequences such as Ctrl-a-s to write the snapshot
to the image file. Therefore, all routes are closed. The current
approach of just locking everything down is wrong. That decision should
be left up to the user as to how much security they wish to enable in
their particular environment.
Your POV, my point of view is that an API should be provided if you
can provide it consistently and reliably, otherwise it should not be
turned into an API.
libvirt was not designed as an API for QEmu internals, maybe it's what
you need, but that would have to be offered by the QEmu people
themselves !
