Looks more like a job for some type of glyph positioning, and I assume
the attachment-based positioning in particular: Each numerator defines
an optically-centered attachment point on bottom, each denominator a
similar one on top, and a simple lookup moves one class to the other so
that the points match. Doing it all with ligatures would be an overkill.
