To add to Keegan's reply: be-tarask is already renamed, which sets a good
and long-awaited precedent.

It is not entirely complete, though, as there is at least one technical
issue remaining: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T112426 . AFAIU, it is
supposed to be resolved by Wikidata developers. It's rather important and I
prefer not to rename any further wikis until there's a known way to resolve
it.

But once that is done, yes, absolutely, let's rename them all.

As https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T21986 indicates, there are a few more
that shouldn't be controversial:
bh -> bho
eml -> egl
als -> gsw
nrm -> nrf

And also a few others, though they will require consensus building:
simple -> (not sure what; see another thread)
no -> nb
ku -> kmr
