I really don't think this is a good model for Hebrew anyway. Besides, if you think the weird exceptions of Biblical typesetting are a pain with the current cons+vow model, imagine what a nightmare they'd be with precomposed syllables.

This approach would certainly have simplified pointed Hebrew a lot, so
much so that it could well be serious. After all, Ethiopic was encoded
as a syllabary just because the vowel points happen to have become
attached to the base characters. And we already have some precomposed
Hebrew syllables, FB1D, FB1F, FB2E, FB2F. But I guess it is too late for
a change now!
Please don't even think of it - acceptance of any proposal for precomposed characters for one script would open the floodgates for similar proposals for other scripts.
