xref--read-identifier basically calls 'completing-read' with some
arguments that it gets from the backend.
Setting 'completion-ignore-case' should make it case-insensitive. Have
you tried that?
The etags backed uses 'tags-lazy-completion-table' to create the
possible completions. I think that was not changed when the xref was
added.
