So this is hot-pluggable (or at least board-pluggable), then should not
be a part of static DTS.

Some concepts of virtual-processes is anyway far away from hardware
description, thus does not fit into DTS. Adding now to the equation PCIe
with variable number of such processes, brings us even further.

This is not a DT property. Remember - DT describes hardware.
