Following Atmel specs, we could SPI program the AVR and JTAG boundary
scan them. We are unable to do JTAG programming as stated in the AVR
specs. So, we end up with both interfaces on every production board.

I have had no problem programming Atmel devices using the JTAG
interface. I use an altera byteblaster and my own software.
AFAIK there is some sort of issue if the AVR is not the only device on
the chain, but IIRC it stops one accessing the other devices, and not
the AVR itself.
