It's a good idea but as you say you need the tools to machine everything flat once finished. And stuff like that is not easy to come by.
That's a crazy idea, no way can that not bend the base which in turn will pull the sides inwards affecting the linear rail surfaces causing the rails to at best bind or shift onto different planes in which case the machine can never be accurate.
