If I've understood your proposal correctly, it sounds like you want to invent a new "print" output function for each type to output the Datum onto a StringInfo, if that's the case, what would be the point of having both versions? If there's anywhere we call output functions where the resulting value isn't directly appended to a StringInfo, then we could just use a temporary StringInfo to obtain the cstring and its length.
