Sounds great to me,
I implemented a form of that proposal, but it turns out that bitwidth modifiers are tricker than they look (not least: tricky to document). So I audited the GNU Emacs source code looking to see how much of the bitwidth-modifier functionality would be useful -- and I couldn't find any places where it would be. So for now I plan to implement that proposal without bitwidth modifiers. Please see Bug#32252.
I can add some form of bitwidth modifiers later if we find use cases that can help motivate what to do about the corner cases.
