Why not ?
If they make the valves clear the pistons in case of malfunction, it'll throw a warning and you can get it fixed.
They could maybe even make the valves close on failure.
The possible advantages are huge.
No more cam belts or chains, and no more cams to start with.
That's a fair bit of mechanical drag gone.
Extremely variable valve timing without all the fuzz that it takes now.
