And, to reiterate, just because Confidential Computing is the new hot thing, the use cases for OvmfPkgIa32, OvmfPkgIa32X64, OvmfPkgX64 do not disappear. Regressing them, or making them unmaintainable due to skyrocketing complexity, is not acceptable.
Totally agree with this. Confidential Computing is a very niche use case, and there is no justification for exploding the complexity of the standard OVMF build.
If, several years from now, it ever reaches the point that the majority of real-world workloads are using TDX, then there would be an argument that the complexity cost has to be paid and that the standard OVMF build should include TDX features. But that's several years away and may never happen.
