Seems like a lot of effort for nothing, IMO, since with truecolor, you can simply use as many, or as few colours as you need.
To emulate a palette GFX mode, you'd also have to have your own image format and renderer, where each pixel in the image is an index into a CLUT (colour look up table), instead of the usual direct RGB components. Such a renderer would likely be pretty damn slow.
The only practical use for a palette mode that I can think of is palette cycling effects.
