Would there be any problems with implementing a similar variable (e.g. org-md-toplevel-hlevel) to allow the user to set the heading level of top level headings within exported markdown content?

Sounds reasonable. I do not see any issue with this approach. Just be
careful to compute the level early before we decide the deeply-nested
headline style (org-md-headline-style).

This contribution will be welcome.
