I don't see how this would serve well the use case you want to enable.
We are talking about prompting the user to save unsaved buffers, yes?
So adding a hook in server-delete-client sounds like a much better
solution to me, as it doesn't affect the (much more general)
delete-frame in any way.

You can start the discussion now, from my POV. But if having a hook
in server-delete-client is good enough, I don't see why we would need
to discuss an actual behavior change.
(And the proviso of backing out changes doesn't work in this project,
IME: people get defensive about their changes, and perceive reverting
them as personal insult. So we do that only in very extreme cases.)
