For the DTV it's probably not worth the trouble, since usage is rare and the
additional instructions can easily be added by using macros. The DTV extended
memory driver that comes with cc65 does completely without these instructions.

The 65CE02 is as far as I know the CPU of the C65. There are probably a few
hundred chips in existence world wide, most of these machines are just
collectors items and not really used. So I would say it's even less worth the
trouble.

The "none" CPU is supported, but as far as I know, no one has ever used it:-)
