This will allow more flexibility on building so that beautifying is a lot more achievable in the coastal areas of the island. :D

Cool, but not happening. They mentioned when docklands came out thats it‘s almost impossible to change the islands/ habour area which is also why they haven‘t increased habour area for docklands.

We continue to be quoted as having said "it's not possible", which is not what we have said ;)
Let me quote from the article where we addressed this topic:

"Reworking and expanding the construction space in the harbor area for all islands would have a significant impact on the game’s balancing and can further lead to issues impacting the stability of the game, AI navigation, and in certain cases, even corrupt savegames."

Basically all the reasons you quoted lead to „it‘s not possible“

Not really, no. They lead to "we won't invest significant amounts of work into reworking a system of the game and the engine to make sure it doesn't cause issues only for the benefit of increasing the harbor area a bit".

The efforts would be disproportionate to the gains (and potentially risky), especially so post-release in a live game.
