Well, no. Now discover1 (as yet unreleased) has support for an
/etc/discover.d dir where you can have something akin to
/etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/alsa-base. Of course, once that discover1 upload
is made, the bug goes to the ALSA maintainers.

I've removed the wontfix tag - I hope this conclusion is satisfactory to
you.
