I assumed there would be. It certainly was discussed in the past.

There is nothing special with set_cursor wl_surfaces compared to
any other wl_surfaces in the protocol. Re-using a cursor plane is
not a point at all. A compositor will put any wl_surfaces on the
cursor plane whenever it can, and we do not communicate or set any
cursor-specific constraints to clients.
