Besides limiting the namespace of user variables, what are your
arguments against such a change?  For me, the simplicity of being able
to always use `.' to mark the hierarchy instead of using a combination
of `<space>' and `.' definitely outweighs the namespace limitation.

It seems that I'm missing something.  Let's assume that your footnote
syntax change is applied.  How do you then solve the case

  \tweak Accidental.color #red cis

vs.

  \override Voice.Accidental color #red

?
