Yes. The alloc.count is only freed on first call. I considered
changing the shutdown API, to have two shutdown calls, where the call
used from the work-queue will not have the loop emptying alloc.count,
but instead have a WARN_ON(alloc.count), as it MUST be empty (once is
code running from work-queue).

It is not "luck". It does the correct thing as we never enter the
while loop in __page_pool_request_shutdown() from a work-queue, but it
is not obvious from the code. The not-so-nice thing is that two
work-queue shutdowns will be racing with each-other, in the multi
netdev use-case, but access to the ptr_ring is safe/locked.

Okay, below you have demonstrated that it is possible to extend later,
although it will make the code (IMHO) "ugly" and more complicated...
So, I guess, I cannot object to this not being extensible.
