Quick update.
My question was forwarded to the MD-RA Chief Inspector (J. Alexandre).
Their position is (paraphrasing here)
I've reached out to Van's and Rotax. If they don't strongly advice against installing one, I'll just plan ahead and replace the drain + pre-filter by a gascolator. If they do strongly advise against... we'll see what are my options... let's hope it doesn't get to this.

Van's fuel system on page 27iS-01 does not provide the functions of a gascolator but installing one will have no negative effect on the fuel system since this is before everything else in the system
The gascolator would replace the drain + pre-filter on 27iS-01 and also provide the added functionality of a sump + the convenience to ease maintenance
Without one, they aren't prepared to issue the appropriate certificates for amateur-built.
