Looks like our conclusion about this distinguishes as for me doing something without gain is a loss. nvm. I don't like it much, but if we are talking half-way about AUR wrappers anyway then don't forget that the loss is that you force it to be part of "regular" updates of those wrappers. As Philipp pointed out you have a gain when taking them separately into account as you want to be more careful because of possible wonky states.
And I don't really see it as a "workaround for AUR wrappers". I see it as getting more useful information into the AUR rpc interface.
Why not setup a systemd timer then and sync the version once per minute so it has even more up-to-date useful information?
