My concern is still the same. Namely that this particular drive happens
to be returning UINT_MAX but it might as well be a value that's entirely
random. Or even a value that is small and innocuous looking but
completely wrong.

Well, you can manually blacklist in /proc/scsi/device_info.

The problem is that finding that is not easy and it too will be a moving
target.
I'm willing to entertain the following, however...
