Semi-support. This can be a really useful tool for doing something specific to a specific user. However, what if a bad user uses this to do more bad stuff like prohibiting good users from viewing their project?

I have a way to solve that. A new way to report a project for abusing the username/simulate username block would solve your problem.

I mean, you can already do that with the existing username block, and has been done before (it's already disallowed, however).

support, it seems useful if you want a custom name for a player (or a set nickname) however variables can be used as a workaround.

Why would this be useful? This is literally just a variable.

This seems like a much simpler approach without having to introduce two new blocks.
