I also recently ran into this problem when trying to use BuildStream with a remote execution service with a selection of worker types which need to be selected using a custom property, https://gitlab.com/BuildGrid/buildgrid-deployments/-/tree/master/kubernetes.

Inline with https://github.com/bazelbuild/remote-apis/blob/master/build/bazel/remote/execution/v2/platform.md it would be beneficial if bst project conf could also allow for OSFamily/ISA to be selectively disabled, as they're only 'MAY' implement conditions of a server/client. This is specific use case can be seen in remote-apis-testing, where it is mandated that only OSFamily=Linux is set (as to be able to use common worker/server implementations across clients) https://gitlab.com/remote-apis-testing/remote-apis-testing/-/merge_requests/161#note_408672086

Currently bst will add these properties based off the hosts env if not specifically defined in configuration
