Clear ceramic film on the windscreen: legal on our Cretas, or asking for trouble?

The rear of my SX(O) has factory privacy glass and I am fine back there, but by noon the dash and the steering top still bake, and the AC spends the first five minutes just catching up. So I have been reading up on sun film instead of buying a fourth sunshade.
Turns out the old "all film is banned" line is outdated. Garware's explainer on the CMVR rules says certified safety glazing to IS 2553 (Part 2) 2019 is permitted, as long as you keep at least 70 percent light transmission on the windscreen and rear glass and 50 percent on the side windows: https://www.garwarehitechfilms.com/sun-control-films/blog/cmvr-guidelines-for-car-window-films
Catch is that a clear high-heat-rejection film costs real money, and enforcement still varies by city, so the certificate and bill living in the glovebox matters. If you would rather spend that budget on paint, our PPF versus ceramic piece is here: /p/ppf-or-ceramic-coating-what-each-one-actually-protects-against
Which brand did you go with, and has any constable argued with you about it?
