Conveniently editing Emacs variables (file-local, dir-local, buffer
-local, global) interactively from the minibuffer (or some other similar
place) is an idea that has been discussed before here.  We could
restart that discussion.

If such a mechanism  is eventually agreed on for Emacs in general, Eglot
could very well take advantage, but don't think eglot.el should just make
its own idiosyncratic take on that.
