So, for example, things like 3 notes within a quarter or 5 within a dotted eight would somehow be legit settings. Add 7 more channels to this and you have some proper madness to play with.

Agree, it does sound interesting.
Certainly there is potential for “proper madness”  !!!   … for it to become music it will need careful control!

I’ve found when messing around, not so much with polyrhythms, but certainly with ‘odd’ time signatures, that it takes a good musician to show how it all makes sense. 
Play around with 7/8 on a drum machine and instrument of your choice, hmmm, hard to get a groove going… then you hear what Brubeck did with it, and you go "ah ha, now I get it!”
