I'm ok with either approaches.

However it seems common practice to set QEMU_PCI_CAP_EXPRESS
unconditionally for PCIE devices.

The few existing PCIE devices do so by assigning their
PCIDeviceClass.is_express to 1 within their 'class_init', regardless the
properties of the bus their on.
(e.g. xhci_class_init, megasas_class_init, vfio_pci_dev_class_init,
 nvme_class_init, and more)

Some devices later call pcie_endpoint_cap_init conditionally.
(e.g. usb_xhci_realize).

Can you please examine this and let me know the preferred approach?

Sure.
