I'm just kibitzing here 
The RPi architecture is what it is. At least uhubctl is available in the Raspberry Pi OS repro these days and it appears from the github activity to be pretty solidly supported in the larger world. As you say, however, to use it with moOde would require an external smart USB hub.
My few DACs don't have a built-in display. If they did, however, my partner who is pretty particular about how any technology she uses should "just work™" would want them to behave consistently.
Given that MPD is only one of several renderers implemented in moOde, she'd want the display-blanking to work irrespective of the client UI in use. This means not just the moOde webUI but also the Spotify app on her phone and the Airplay connection from my iPad or UPnP or Bluetooth connections from my Android phone when using other clients. Then there's moOde users who drive the internal MPD server from an external MPD client.
My grandmother was fond of telling us grandkids that "the proof of the pudding is in the eating". Always happy to see what implementations (and configuration menus!) folks come up with and this feature is no exception.

Kent
