Pro for AirportItlwm.kext: it supports Location Services.

Does it support Location Services Supported on AirportItlwm.kext.

itlwm.kext reports the Wi-Fi card as an Ethernet NIC to macOS, rather than Wi-Fi. This means that Find My does not work, since it relies on Wi-Fi data (like what networks are around you). This likely means that other location services don't work as well.

Pro Itlwm: Supports connecting to Hidden Wi-Fi networks

So what's the point of your issue report?

I don't use Find my Mac nor Location Services – they are irrelavant to me.

Am I obligated to list ALL pros and cons on my repo now? Or is it okay, to list those that are relevant to me?

They may be relevant for people that use your repo as template. IMHO it is quite a difference and the reason why I chose for AirportItlwm.kext on some hackintoshes. But of course that is up to you. Your repo, your choice.
