First you need to trick Apple into signing that kext (which is getting more difficult by the day even for legitimate uses), or get the user to disable SIP first.

Didn't many tools require disabling SIP, like Homebrew? Is this no longer true?

This hasn't been true for at least 2 major macOS releases.

But yes, there was a time when editing even /etc/sudoers required disabling SIP. That time is long gone.
