I think this point is very important: "multi-row" is ambiguous.
Does it mean the rendering in Org? In someother output format? Are the
row breaks chosen by the user (and thus they have /some/ "meaning") or
are they chosen by some rendering mechanism (word wrap, perhaps
hyphenation)?

If the aim is "just rendering in Org" and "breaks have no special
meaning" (so each render is allowed to re-flow), then your approach
makes sense (I think Org table has something like that: you can
set the column width and shrink/expand the column appropriately.
Personally, I've found that somewhat awkward, so I don't use it,
but OTOH I'm not a heavy table user: perhaps that's why).
