KVP is private to the engine and off limits for python bindings. We’re certainly not going to revert the private-kvp changes, which is what your fork partly does.

In master, all of the stuff stored in KVP is accessible via GObject properties. QofInstance seems not to be exported, but you can import GObject via gobject-introspection and use GObject.GObject.get/set_property(); if you write just be sure to do it in an edit/commit block and to mark the instance dirty.
