Maybe the real point here is that for almost all glyphs we want to have a
_convex_ outline (such that e.g. stems do not extend into glyphs) rather
than a tight skyline?

The skyline could approximate the real outline with arbitrary
precision. What's the problem?
It's the opposite. A too-good approximation of the outline might be
too tight.
It should be easy to fatten an outline to get some extra padding. Making
outlines by hand will be error prone, and time consuming, as they have to
scale exactly with all the MF parameters.
