What about link integrity? With relative Org links, you'd need an export
filter for links as well, to remove the language infix and to add the
language directory, so links would match the location and names of the
targets. Unless you sacrifice the affordance of having working Org links
that export to working HTML links, and instead use absolute paths to
where those files will end up.
Personally I wouldn't think it worth the effort just to avoid the slight
cognitive burden of maintaining index.org files in separate language
directories, but that's just my two cents.
Yours,
