I'd say go for it. The only reason the main page is protected is to
keep it from vandals, so in theory, it's just as editable as any other
page. You've followed the right (cautious, courteous) convention by
asking here first, since as you say, it would be a huge change.
The only risk you take is that if people really freak out about it,
and a general consensus develops that it should be turned back
completely, then your work would be for nothing.
But I'm looking at
eo.wikipedia.org, and it's sweet.
