I can't see that this would be a big improvement.  If you want to move
the subtree that far away that the number of keystrokes invoced makes a
difference, then probably you should have used refiling in the first
run.

At least I'm one of those that would accidentially destroy the document
structure with such an automatic reparenting. ;-)

Well, as optional feature I don't have an opinion.  But I think you
could add an around advice to `org-metaup' to get that behavior.  Simply
ad-do-it and catch a possible error.  If there was none, you are ok.  If
there was one, you have to call `org-metaleft' followed by `org-metaup'
again.
