I looked into whether this is feasible, and unfortunately I'm not
optimistic. For one, the current TypedObjects proposal has __proto__
read-only, which we could certainly not do for TypedArray classes. But ok,
they might be exceptional in that regard, I guess. Even if you strip away
everything else, simply the change in prototype chains might not be
web-compatible, though.

Still, it's certainly something that should be tried if and when the
proposal gets un-stalled.
