If the requirement for this feature (with or without MAB) is to work
with dynamic entries (which is not what is currently implemented in the
selftests), then learning needs to be enabled for the sole reason of
refreshing the dynamic entries added by user space. That is, updating
'fdb->updated' with current jiffies value.

So, is this the requirement? I checked the hostapd fork you posted some
time ago and I get the impression that the answer is yes [1], but I want
to verify I'm not missing something.

Yes, but replace works in both cases.

Given that the current tests use "static" entries that cannot age, is
there a reason to have "learning on"?

No, I'm saying that this option is already exposed over netlink, but
missing iproute2 support. No kernel changes needed.
