Yes but you're highlighting exactly why this approach is worth considering in
the first place. Why re-implement anything that's already been implemented at
the additional_fields level?

We already have patron_custom_attributes and additional_fields, 2
implementations of what is essentially the same thing, but now need to be
maintained and supported individually. This is exactly what we're aiming to
prevent here: implement yet another redundant metadata table that needs to do
something that's already implemented in Koha.
