The current discussion about the kernel side can be found here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kbuild/20231017151050.GJ6241@kitsune.suse.cz/T/#t
My impression is that pkg-config is accepted as an interface on the basis that it's already required for building the kernel while jq is currently required only for some additional optional tools.
Thanks
