All that sounds good, but demands more work than I initially expected, so it may take time. Recently the time that I can devote to KiCad development is a bit constrained. The PNS router uses its internal model to implement snapping, therefore I wonder if it would not be better to delay snapping until the current model is upgraded. The rest of proposed changes should be possible to implement without any other dependencies. > Excellent suggestions.

It seems like a good candidate. Good ideas are worth noting and putting to the plan. That way they will not be forgotten.
