For all these proposals other than actual built-in knowledge by the compiler of the endianness, I think the question is whether the compiler will generate good code to do the conversions. There have been Load/Store Reversed instructions in various sizes since the original zArch, but I'll bet that the kind of C++ structs/classes you mention won't end up generating them.
