I just don't see the "why" here.

Sure, one /could/ do all sorts of spiffy things at build time iff one
could just use ksh93.

But, I don't see anything in the ON tree today that /requires/ the use
of ksh93.

In the absence of a problem that forces the adoption of ksh93 /now/,
I'd suggest that we keep our focus on getting the current ksh93 project
finished and integrated before we invent more work.  If needed, get a
limited scope exception that allows the use of ksh93 as part of the
ksh93-specific build process, but treat it as an implementation detail
private to the ksh93 project.  Being "done" with this phase of ksh93
/now/ is infinitely better than some theoretical "perfect" that is never
achieved.

Then, once we have a ksh93 in the system, we can entertain all these
new ideas.
