Sounds reasonable.

Some comments on the patch:

I'd make the function private: org--property-get-separator. It is not
intended as an API function.

Please quote the function name as `org-property-get-separator'.

Please, use double space "  " to separate sentences. Also, see
doc/Documentation_Standards.org

This example is a bit confusing because it is unclear what you want to
achieve and why you also need to set inheritance.

> +(defcustom org-property-separators nil

This defcustom type does not match what you described in the docstring.
You need something like :type '(alist :key-type (choice string (repeat string)) :value-type string)

Best,
