Such application specific error handlers could then also apply whatever fancy round-trip safe encoding of non-decodable bytes to Unicode escapes, private code points, etc. as seen fit by the application.

I'd argue that such fancy round-trip safe error handler should be provided by Python. It's not reasonable to expect application coders to come up with their own codec variation based on subtle details of the unicode spec.
