Sure, that is my idea.
A while back, I suggested that we should try to create multiple map
layers in one pass. For example, the various routes-* styles currently
need to be processed separately. It takes a few minutes per layer for
Finland. Almost all of this time is needed for parsing the map data.
Even a "null" style needs this much time. But, this is just an
optimization, not strictly needed to make the style change happen.

Right, I have similar needs myself. However, last summer when I was
bicycling in the middle of nowhere, I got a bit distracted by power
lines looking like roads (1-pixel wide line at wide zoom levels). So, I
do understand people who want to be able to disable or enable the
"clutter" when using the GPS unit.
