You'd also want a way to identify related groups of files and handle permissions, I suggest a prefix convention so every file that starts with "/home/flukus/" belongs to me and isn't modifiable by other users. /s

From a high level users perspective file systems are already key value stores so this isn't going to change anything. There may be some gains from moving to hardware, but given hardware manufacturers track record with buggy, broken, closed source software I wouldn't be too keen.
