I'm fine with the general idea. FWIW Debian does something similar.
Regarding the diff itself, yours slightly mangles the original
load-path: it drops /usr/local/share/emacs/29.4/site-lisp. The diff
below addresses that and slightly reorganizes your proposal. Tested
with a dummy /etc/emacs/subdirs.el. By the way, note that emacs won't
automatically install /etc/emacs/subdirs.el like done for other
site-lisp directories. So if users install stuff into /etc/emacs/
subdirectories, emacs won't look them up. I don't think it's a
problem.
If the diff below works for you, please commit it (ok jca@).
