I see no merit in the idea. Most seriously, there isn't any real-world
problem being solved. In addition, it proposes creating yet another
type of terminal emulation. If there's something you don't like about
VT escape codes, use a different emulation. For example, Televideo
terminals used almost exclusively single-character control codes,
reducing the scope of being mid-sequence to, well much closer to zero.

You need to make quite clear that your proposal is to discontinue use of
VT terminal emulation.
