No. And there won't be. It would demand yet another level of
multiplexers, and I don't want that. It would be easy to add an
option to resize the virtual roots themselves, so that an existing
screen would fill to span the whole real root, but I'm not so keen
on that either.

Unless the app completely overrides the WM, which any decent program
should not do, Ion handles the full screen request in a special manner,
choosing a screen that the window seems to be intended to be full-screened
on (but sometimes this does not work, because the shitty program doesn't
specify the coordinates of the target screen for xinerama, instead wanting
to move the window only afterwards).
