That seems like a sensible approach. The other alternative is to add a LanguageCe class that overrides the commaList function, which might be more appropriate if Chechen is the only language known to require this feature. (But I suspect that is not the case.)
Both approaches are acceptable, but adding another message for the lists (empty in English) also bears a little cognitive cost for translators of all the other languages. The more complex this area of i18n becomes, the more important it gets to document it correctly; at least a subsection of https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:MediaWiki#Translation_notes is in order, I guess.\
