I personally like this idea, but I'm not sure I can sell it to the
others. Are there any restrictions to these 169.254.x.y addresses?

169.254.0.0/16 must never appear outside a link -- it is strictly scoped to that link.

P.S. I checked in a change to ip_forward() a while back which enforces this, as forwarding such traffic between interfaces without NATting it or otherwise proxying it is a really bad idea (and also breaks the IPv4 LL RFC).
