Modifying the WebContentSettings.FilterPolicy of a managedSettingsStore object to so that its type is not .none removes the private browsing capability in Safari by default.

Is there a way to avoid this? Is this mentioned somewhere in the documentation? Are there any other unexpected side-effects of modifying the WebContentSettings.FilterPolicy?

Yes, private browsing is disabled as a side effect of using the webContent.blockedByFilter setting. Currently there are no workarounds. If you'd like private browsing to be supported with filter policies, please file a report via Feedback Assistant.
