To me it's a lot like writing a C4 chord

Oh, c'mon! They are not the same!
C4 means no 5th, while C sus4 means it contains 5th.
Besides, C4 is very dangerous! Highly explosive.
I understand languages change, but that doesn't mean it is OK to be
incorrect.
What exactly do you understand C4 to mean, then? It is different
from what I thought, apparently, so even more reason to avoid it.
I have used non-traditional chord symbols before, but I put an
incipit at the top of the chart explaining it. Like when I have a
piece that has a lot of Cadd9omit3, I use C2, but I don't expect
everyone to know what it is, as it is non-traditional.
