What my concern is the larger vector size like in Arm SVE after we support the SPECIES_MAX vectors, and the expected behavior/difference if people set a smaller max flat size with `InlineFieldMaxFlatSize`.

That's correct!, my above comment was in context of existing handling where final fields of [null-restricted value types](https://openjdk.org/jeps/401) are always flattened irrespective of InlineFieldMaxFlatSize.  Are you inclined to re-instantiate the old behavior ?
