Beside the unneeded extra complexity, it would also make it either
impossible to change the order between the files in the
one-and-only-system-dir and the-other-dirs, or would require yet more
complexity to provide extra flexibility.
So, yes, I think it would really be a problem.

No, but I can't think of any reason why that would be more likely to
collide with `native-files` than with `26.3`.
If you're still worried, we can go back to
$DESTDIR/$libdir/emacs/$VERSION/native-lisp where the $VERSION
is redundant. I wouldn't be bothered by this redundancy.
