Another question is if automatic packing is worth making the layout

I think so. Size does matter.
If you are talking about implementing a tuple type into the language,

The situation also applies to the only tuple implementation in D. If you
are proposing a new type with emphasis on reducing the footprint of the
tuple then I don't see a problem with that. Changing the existing tuple
implementation would be problematic.
No. There's no guarantee made by std.tuple as to layout. We can't be
overly conservative for the sake of supporting code that assumes too much.
