Mutants with low-mid level powers are basically people with guns. Have them register, mentally assessed, and so on. Mutants with strong powers are basically people with nukes. Even if society were %100 Magneto worshipping muties, free from humanity and registration, just one of these Mutants could destroy all of civilation by mistake. Therefore, a coexistance via registration is safer for both sides anyway.
Low level Mutants could still pretty much roam free. After all, this is a world where Spiderman swings around New York, and %90 of the time only JJJ gives a shit about monitoring him. Nobody cares about the Cyphers and Matter Eater Lads. But it would be nice if the Jean Greys and Emma Frosts of the world were under wraps. Which, incidentally, would result in Xavier himself being subject to imprisonment, but hey.
Then again, maybe the Mutants could just make like the Inhumans and fuck off to the moon.

Even if you could identify every single mutant from birth you still couldn't know what their powers would be until they manifested. How do you monitor a world killer mutant? From second 1 that they manifested they'd be a threat to an extent that it could potentially be physically impossible to step in and imprison or reason with them. The only workable solution would be to exterminate the entire population and come up with a cure that would hopefully eradicate the gene from existence. Put something in the water or the air or something. Hell, committing genocide even against every normal human with the gene would be preferable to letting them live out of the kindness of humanity's heart. But coexistence is a complete nonstarter no matter how touchy feely liberal you were.
