I had only one concerns for adding it as property for backward-compatibility. There must be a check at all the places with table property whether it is as Iceberg-table or iceberg-view. We do validate with [validateTableIsIceberg](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/99843f03efecc3f5ef7d3e1d32aae5eff22cb315/hive-metastore/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/hive/HiveOperationsBase.java#L96) for table.
