after reading brian livingston's article, SPF and CSV don't seem to be
mutually exclusive.

IIRC, SPF has some validation of the HELO name described in it.

The adoption path would be harsher for CSV, as SRV records need to be installed
instead of just TXT records

and CSV lacks the optional fine-grained control that SPF provides,
unless there's
more to it.

Can't we all just get along?
