Didn't the dbennett tiles/patch (now out of date) do something
like this?  I seem to recall it started with many fewer input
tiles, but generated variations on the fly.  

Regarding your proposal: I think the question is whether you 
can get it too look as good (or better!) than the current system,
and particularly to guard against everything looking the same
too much.  I don't know.

Or both ;-)
