There are no plans to do this at present, no. The way I have typically
handled this kind of thing in Bravura is to create stylistic alternates
for key glyphs that are optical variants, so should the need arise for
vulgar fractions not permitted by the current set of digits, I would
anticipate adding stylistic alternates for the remaining digits.

You're correct that if you want to create additional digits that are not
included in the core SMuFL character set, you should add them in the
optional glyphs range.
