Hello,
Just throwing in thoughts, I unfortunately haven't had time to read
the discussion in detail.

Actually, another question is how all that interacts with fontenc: in
pdfLaTeX, if you're using inputenc, you should use fontenc also,
otherwise you're just asking for trouble. Hence, in LuaLaTeX +
lua-inputenc, wouldn't it be possible to simply use the LICR internally,
and let fontenc convert it to the font's encoding with the *enc.def
files?
Of course, this would give very bad results with OpenType fonts, for
example, but I think it's not unreasonable to require LaTeX users who
want to use OpenType fonts with LuaTeX to encode all their documents in
UTF-8, full stop. lua-inputenc should, as I see it, care for backward
compatibility first.
