The only I'd point out is that if we introduce a (@ ...) syntax here we should try and phase out the old @... syntax, i.e. emit an obsolescence warning when we bump into such code.
IMO that's indeed the biggest problem with the proposal: if we could swap @ in the current syntax for something else, that might be ideal.
But as proposed (and at this stage of Emacs 29 development) we'll likely carry two different syntaxes for a number of years, and only one of them will show up in symbol searches (such as xref-find-references or isearch for "\\_<foo"). Having these methods work in some cases can discourage the users from trying other methods, or simply searching for input prefixed with "@".
