you did not specify what OS are your hosts so I assume it is
RHEL/CentOS. The newer libguestfs is scheduled to appear in 7.4.

AFAIK it should already be available for Fedora 25/26.

That should be OK. If you feel brave enough to do that, sure you can
build your own RPMs. You should not need to update anything else
(libvirt/qemu).
