I think query-stats-schemas is good enough.

# *Note*: While QEMU and other providers of runtime-collected statistics
# will try to keep the set of available data stable, together with their
# names, it is impossible to provide a full guarantee.  For example, if
# the same value is being tracked with different names on different
# architectures or by different providers, one of them might be renamed.
# A statistic might go away if an algorithm is changed or some code is
# removed; changing a default might cause previously useful statistics
# to always report 0.  Such changes fall outside QEMU's usual deprecation
# policies (also because statistics might be sourced externally, e.g.
# from Linux).  However, they are expected to be rare.
