That's the sort of thing I'd aim at too.

I consider --local to be far more of an escape hatch, and far less a
daily tool.  It's an inherently schizophrenic thing to do; branches
can be shared (as in a checkout) or independent; --local users the
former to emulate the latter.  Certainly it has unnecessary bugs like
you've mentioned, but even with them fixed, it's [IMAO] much better
considered a special-case stopgap, than a regular-use device.
