I usually keep my Leo files and its imported/exported files in Fossil
repository[1] (kind of a GitHub in a box, with less impedance), all with
relative links to the repository root where project files are located.
Fossil's author propose SQLite as a file format [2][2a] and I think that
single, self contained files with a powerful, light and portable SQLite
database behind Fossil repositories are the best incarnation so far of
a project "format" I have been able to work with so far (despite most of
the people knowing mostly/only Git). I have used Fossil extensively in
my documentation projects since 2011, including Leo files talking with
other files in the same repository.

So I second the idea of *not* needing a project format when Fossil is
there, as it is one of the best ways to package project resources and
their history in a single file, publishing such projects/resources and
enabling collaboration. A recent example of such combination can be
found at [3][3a][3b].

The short answer to the question is no :-)
Imo, .leo files are better than typical project files: all data
are in one place (the .leo file), most data are visible, and all
data, including uA's, are accessible to scripts and plugins.
The problems you mention are real, but the solution is not some
new file format.
