As Creston sez:
It looks exactly the same but what it looks like is a 'transposition'
in that a 1/6 note looks exactly like a 1 quarter note in a quarter
note triplet. In 6/6 the tuplet bracket would still be applied.
Either way this kind of rhythm will entail explication. The problem is
that of dealing with 1/3 of one beat as in: 3/3 becoming either 4/3's
or 2/3's of one beat of the base 4/4 pulse and still being able to
revert to eight note fractioning subsequently (8/8 e.g.).
2/8 is 1/3 longer than 2/12
So that playing the time sig: 1/4] 2/8] 2/12] 1/4]2/8]2/12]
playing rhythmic units:
one quarter] 2 eights] 2 notes of eight note triplet] 1 q] etc.
This is quite simple with the 2/12 but otherwise -- what? What would
you like to see here.
No matter what you do it is going to look messy but with 2/12 it is
very clean.
As for 7/10 or 13/20 -- there's a fraction too far.
As a student I once wrote a compound tuplet that was a 56 over
something (i can't remember) -- it was beautiful but hell if I could
ever find out what it sounded like.

A sincere thank you for the resposes to my question.
My humble opinion still stands, that using an esoteric meter such as
<anything>/12 will return an uncertain performance.

PS - What is the notation for a twelth note ? If an 8th is a single
flag and a 16th is double flag, is a 12th note a flag and a half ?
PPS - These are sincere questions, not sarcasm as they might seem in
the printed word.
