Why it is not endian clean, and not 32-bit vs. 64 bit clean for bcache ?
Bcache does not support endian clean indeed, and libnvdimm only works with
64bit physical address width. The only restriction here by using pointer is
the CPU register word should be 64bits, because we use the NVDIMM as memory.
Is it one of the way how NVDIMM (especially Intel AEP) designed to use ?
As a non-volatiled memory.

Does the already mapped DAX base address change in runtime during memory
hot plugable ?
If not, it won't be a problem here for this specific use case.
