I don't think there's an "architecture rule" that would prevent that design. It looks like DISALLOWED_USER_AGENTS has been around since 2005, but handler403 wasn't added until 1.4. Since the docs for the setting say "Use this for bad robots/crawlers." I guess it's implied that customizing the response isn't particularly useful. You could try writing a patch with your suggested approach and see if you run into any issues. I guess it might be a bit slower performance-wise.
