So unless EXT4 doesn't support it at all (which is not the case since factory reset is solving the problem) I don't see why there should be a need for a new kernel. So given what I know, I don't think there is a problem as long as you get the updated version of the utility, but you seem to know more than I do, so I'll trust you on this.
I have talked about this with devs who know. If there was a safe way to e.g. expand existing volumes from less than 16TB to over it we would have QA tested it and made it available.
