 I am not sure that I agree. All of object types have a get_*s function. I
 know that they might be issues with adding new functions to core, but that
 is the risk that you take everytime a new function is added right? I don't
 see why we should have the design pattern for this one function. Wouldn't
 be do that everytime we add a new function into core going forward?

 Regarding unit testing. The unit tests now pass for multisite. As in
 implementation we use query class, we already have some test coverage.
 wp_get_sites and domain_exists seem a good start for new tests, if they
 are required.
