Clients would obtain a handle on a "branch," and perform basic I/O operations, including transactions. Branches could be created ad-hoc at run-time. So add-ons could obtain their own storage namespace with the storage guarantees of their choosing. Under the hood storage would be isolated so failures in one component wouldn't affect everybody. So this is basically prefs on steroids?
Sure. I'd say it's key-value storage done right with a sane API and consistency expectations and without the association with "preferences"/about:config.
