It'd make it easier on paper, however each object has it's own physics collision mask rather than it being handled as a mesh (it's just how the physics engine TB has works) so without a complete rebuild of the game with a new physics engine etc it wont happen.
At best you could push for 3D background objects, and having to make the mod objects as usual - at least that would make things look nicer.
