If people want the MAIL FROM to play a role in Sender ID,

These messages reflect the deployment issues I am raising
with marid-protocol/marid-core and which remain outstanding.

Is it unrealistic to assume that, if the current Sender-ID becomes a
RFC as it is, nevertheless, some people will use SPF records (as
specified in -protocol) to perform checks on the 2821 MAIL FROM and
not only on the official PRA?

A sort of unofficial "Unified SPF"?
