Maybe, but for me I'll want to have something that we can reuse for other chips.
Having the index start with 0 for one chip and with 1 for another would be
confusing. It is bad enough that we have in[0..n] for voltages and temp[1..n]
for temperatures. I would not want to see the same in devicetree files,
and much less so on a per-device basis. It is also pretty common to start
channel numbers with 0 in devicetree files.

Sure, no problem.
