To me the BSC telling which phy driver to use looks really like BSC knowing about the PCU implementa […]
well, in the classic (12.21 based) information model, the BSC knows everything and it spreads its knowledge to the BTSs. And in case of BTS-colocated PCU, the BTS then passes things to the PCU (see how the NSVC are configured in osmo-bsc.cfg). In general I also like that, as it reduces the amount of things an operator needs to configure on each and every of their (potentially many) remote sites.
We might also get back to fixeria's idea in the meeting today: have separte binaries like osmo-pcu-{rbs,sysmo,...} to avoid the problem.
Many alternatives, I'm not deep enough into the topic to have a clear idea.
