Would dextro bacteria even be able to infect levo based life? Or is this just some fearmongering about bio to give more power to the government?

Maybe it could, maybe it could not. If it could and we had no defence against, it could be disastrous, even world ending (for us). The precautionary principle applies.

I'm not sure what advantage you see to a government in restricting this.
