Are you suggesting eg being able to have http://βικιπαίδεια.org go to
http://el.wikipedia.org or http://维基百科.org go to http://zh.wikipedia.org ? (In
some cases a spelling/transliteration will be shared with several languages, so
this wouldn't always be enough without a language or country code.)

Do these work ok with Latin TLDs or would they need to be paired with a
country-specific IDN ccTLD like .中国 for China or .台湾 for Taiwan?

While these sorts of things could be set up as redirects, I don't think they're
really suitable for the core hostnames to use in the URLs. We rely on using a
shared 'wikipedia.org' domain to cut down *massively* on cookies needed for the
shared login state, and mixing core URLs around could be painful, confusing, or
error-prone.
