I apologize in case I'm misunderstanding, but why is that not possible?
anx7625 allows that configuration (2 lane DP + 2 lane USB going to
a single USB-C-connector)
Since the discussion is to support various conceivable hardware configurations
That same anx7625 can support 1 1-lane DP (or 2 1-lane DPs), and 1
2-lane Type-C output.
The cross-point switch allows for that level of configuration.

It depends. If the end-points from the usb-c-connector
go to the same switch, then it should allow orientation switching
(anx7625 allows
this). The port driver would just tell the orientation switch(es) attached to
it that we are in NORMAL or REVERSE orientation.
The graph is static, since the hardware line routing between components
doesn't change (e.g SSTX1 from the Type-C port is always routed to Pin
X1,X2 on the switch hardware), but that is what the switch is for.
Note that in this case, the expectation is that
the switch driver only registers 1 switch (it can figure out that all
4 endpoints
go to the same Type-C port).
The limitation to orientation switching would depend on how the
hardware is routed.
