That is a bit too much work, and not worth the effort IMO as the ultimate equipment would still outdo all of the enhanced normal weaponry and thus making it obsolete.

And for your last suggestion, I think it would conflict with the tinkerer's reforge. Maybe it could be used for the added weapons that can't be reforged, but as I said, it seems to be more work than what its worth.
