INBOX -> ~/mail/inbox

This would not work.
For example, how would you handle a folder named "abc.dir"? In your
scheme, that would end up as ~/mail/abc.dir which would still result in a
name clash.
How would you handle abc/def/ghi? Something like
~/mail/abc.dir/def.dir/ghi or? That would not make it very workable
either.
Sounds more like you just introduced a new self-created problem that would
require yet another workaround.. ;-)
But what was not clear from your mail, is what exactly you identified as
"the problems" with standard Maildir++ setup?
