I also think this would be the best solution. It would be made even better if you have a command to toggle "hex mode" that is mapped to a key, which you could then press twice to do your desired update. Or, you could have a InsertEnter/InsertLeave autocmd that automatically does the filtering, maybe combined with a CursorHold that checks for modifications and does the filtering if it finds one (see :help changetick on how to detect this).
