I don't think hard coding a set of features is a wise idea, existing features
should be applied regardless of some others are missing or not. Most Arabic
fonts doing ligature I've seen use liga not rlig or may be both. I've been
building fonts that use neither and use calt instead. Even init, medi and fina,
one can have a perfectly usable Arabic font with only init and medi for example
(at least in theory). The point is that there are countless number of
possibilities, so there is no point to reject existing features in the font
because it is missing others, and if it was a broken font then the result is no
better than it was.
