I don't think you thought through all cases. Consider blind users, as they would only be concerned with objects within relative space, then even on a busy sim the sim would not have to send any updates to the client.
Even if not blind, lets say someone has their view limit set only to relative space, as would be the potential possibility for those that mainly leave their client open for chat. Normally the viewer is set to greater than 64m away view distance, yet if someone has the chat window maximized then that distance isn't really needed. It would be an option to have the viewer automatically drop viewable distance to 30m or less, which would be optimal for chat distance. It's a use-case/concept that is low-hanging fruit for client-side physics.
