I know the eWAI would be less effective than block heating, but it is a 'no strings attached' solution; it would work anywhere.
While it does put additional load on the system it uses way less energy than a block heater would, because it only has to run for a few minutes before the engine parts are warm enough to heat the intake air by themselves.

I like your idea, but executing it will be a challenge. The reason I'm not a fan of block heaters is that they only can be used where electric power is available to plug into. This is fine for when starting out from home, but the block heater can't be utilized in other places when the engine is again cold.
