'Sounds' pretty good. As a track type, it might even be more flexible.
Maybe. It could depend on how easy it will be to arrange them.  For
instance, will it be possible to build a regular track by combining a
certain quantity of those tracks ?

I do not know Ableton hence I do not know how much of an improved idea
is Bitwig with its Clips and Arranger panes, as well as the clips
browser that's part of the main window space and not superimposed (eg.
import tracks in Ardour).
