Is it possible to make *all* key sequences repeatable? Creating the
above code for every single key sequence is tiresome...

My proposal solves a) and b) too:
a) C-x C-x becomes easily repeatable (1 + n instead of 2n keys for n
repeatitions);
b) You may make C-a prefix key, and bind C-a C-a to repeatable command
(again, 1 + n keys for n repeatitions, like in your method).
Is it correct that the difference between our proposals is the following?
1) Your method requires user to bind the prefix key (e.g. C-x, M-s h).
2) My method requires user to bind the whole key sequence for the
first repeatition (e.g. C-x C-x, M-s h h).
