Sendmail takes a 1-line change to the stock sendmail.mc file provided

a non-privileged id.
That's incorrect. Postfix does that as postfix.
Doesn't postfix have write access to your mail queue? The milter I run
under sendmail has it's own workspace but can't write anywhere else
including the mail queue. By non-privileged, I didn't just mean
non-root, I meant a different id than used for anything else.
Postfix does not do milter. It can and does pipe through another process
(eg spamassassin) before doing delivery, but that's after the SMTP dialogue.
Unless I've missed some new development. I was looking at MimeDEFang
(however its capitalised) from Roaring Penguin (home of rp-pppoe) which
does milter and therefore, then, could only be used with sendmail.
