Isn’t that really the point here? For some reason you don’t want to create a full userdata to wrap a void* to some externally managed C struct? Why not?

The "why not" was already explained: that means that you can have two
Lua objects pointing to the same C object, but the Lua objects compare
as unequal.

You can, but you don't have to. To avoid creating two Lua objects pointing to the same C objects is also possible with userdata, you just need some care.
