Screen space reflections are the only possibility, but they have important problem - performance. To make it like mirror sharp means special optimizations for lot of steps of raytracing, but on practice almost everything in Skyrim look ugly unnatural with so precise mirrors, need blurring. But blurred reflections do not need much computation power. So people will not accept performance degradation which they will see only with some object(s) of your mod and no other places. In general people skip reflection in their presets, it have glitches when quality is not maxed. I will think of this, but no promises.
