That sounds like a neat idea. I've raised a question in the xsce community whether individual deployments would require maps in two or more languages. Conveniently, we have a call discussing this with various deployers and developers in two days' time[1].
If not, this will result in savings only while generating the tiles in both rendering time and space. Deployments will likely use only their specific language tiles. Nevertheless, this looks to be a promising way of setting things up. I'm guessing leaflet or similar won't have any issue displaying multiple layers on top of one another, and the additional cpu costs of doing so would not be so great.
