I guess you mean the 'previous' and 'next' pointers?

I mean all the pointers in the data. There are more than just 'previous' and 'next'. Most Lisp objects are tagged pointers, and data contains them.

Emacs doesn't assume LSB representation when built with wide
ints.

True, I should have said that the representation is always a pointer plus a constant offset, which is true even with wide ints. (It didn't used to be true, but those days are long gone.)

your proposed method is required to "serialize" the dumped data as C
code.

Sure, but that's true of any dumping method. The advantage of dumping to C code is that the compiler and linker will deserialize it for you.
