I think it would be a good idea but there are going to be operators in state or out of state who simply don’t care. We tried to coordinate with one that is based in Florida and got nowhere with them.
Personally, I have always had the thought process of trying to work with other operators and try and create imaginary boundaries or territories to work within. In fact, we even pulled out of an area completely when I found out it was too deep inside one of my friends networks. This helps avoid the types of issues you mention. However, in recent years its become clear to me that, while I may do this, others don’t necessarily share my approach. Once I feel others are entering our market, as I have seen recently, it will change my mindset to become an aggressive builder and spend some of our cash saved up to over build others. If this happens, knowing and avoiding those conflicting Radio Frequencies would be good.

It occurred to me the ham folks have a thing called a “repeater council”. Anytime a new repeater or link radio is put up the repeater council coordinates the frequency so things are not interfering with each other. What if we did something like this in Indiana? It would not have to be too sophisticated. We already know where the licensed links are. That is public info. If we created a database of backhauls with paths and frequency range we could see if any links are cutting across another. If links cut across we could see about coordination then. I know this is ambitious, but something is better than nothing. The NBBC Co-Op would be a good vehicle for getting this going. Members could have access to this info.
