Yes, the SharePoint team is adamantly against being IFramed in as content. I had an open ticket with them for almost four months trying to get them to allow IFraming in a different but similar context, and the final answer was, "never going to happen."

If you need to edit SharePoint documents from a Canvas App list experience, I recommend opening them in a new tab using Launch() with the Target param set to New: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/power-fx/reference/function-param#launch
