The problem I see is you'd need a knob sticking out. If you want to
hand plane something you need to set the dog below the surface of the
stock. Unless you made your stop really long with the knob at the back
end it would be in the way, and that would effectively reduce the
length of your bench. Plus in the course of resurfacing the top
eventually you'd get to where you had to remove it and make the slot
deeper, even if you started with it recessed a bit

I think the people who install t-tracks in a bench don't do much hand
tool work.

That's not a knock, we all have our favorite methods, but an observation.
