If the use case is to construct URLs, then I think it's wrong to frame it as problem of string concatenation. URLs are not just strings: they require proper encoding. String escaping is type- and context-dependent, and authors get it notoriously wrong.
With naive string concatenation a case like this will likely generate an invalid URL:
url("/picture?of=" + attr(title));
And it's not always URL-encoding, it may require punycode:
url("//" + attr(hostname) + "/favicon.ico");
or it may be expected that there is no encoding applied at all:
url("/images/foo.png" + var(--default-query-string));
