The collaborative path is the use of the taproot-tweaked public key to sign, without revealing any scripts.
The bip-taproot proposal specifically disallows all `SIGHASH` that is not the current set of valid `SIGHASH` flags when using this path, and thus does not include `SIGHASH_NOINPUT`/`SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUT`.

New `SIGHASH` types *are* allowed in bip-tapscript (i.e. when signing for a `OP_CHECKSIG` variant inside a taproot script), and this is where the proposal of aj builds upon.

For myself, I do not see any point in using the collaborative path unless we are cooperatively closing anyway.
And once we are cooperatively closing, we can agree to spend the funding txo without requiring that `SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUT` be used (since we already have fallbacks in case of cooperation failure, i.e. the existing update/settlement txes).
So again I do not see this to be an issue.
(I could be wrong)
