I was looking into a trip across non-KRG Iraq for quite some time, until various things (work, Trump, virus) happened to make that trip impossible for me at present.
Safety concerns aside, the logistical difficulty (apart from current border closures) is the visa. These are only issued for group tours, or people with a work contract. There are people who arrange individual visas for a hefy 'fee', but these are only issued at Baghdad Airport. If you can find a way to get a visa (maybe easier for you as a GCC national?) then once the border opens it should be possible, though central Iraq has some pretty sketchy areas as lonerider mentioned.
I would be very interested to hear your progress.
