That's exactly what atomic modeset/pageflip is meant to address. You get
the flexibility of individual properties and on top of that a way to
apply them all atomically.

Having them separated into individual properties will make it easy for
userspace to determine at runtime which of them are available and which
aren't. Also it seems to me that all of these properties should have a
unified userspace interface. Drivers would then be free to implement the
kernel side with the hardware-specific details.

I think the point here is that once we have atomic modesetting/pageflip
then there's no longer a need to have an "atomic" color manager
property since there will be a mechanism to atomically apply any number
of properties.
