Yeah, it might be too late. It doesn't seem super likely that people are relying on the behavior for border-image much, but maybe people are checking and setting border-width and border-style in JS and expecting them to work interchangeably at zero. It could be tested under an experimental flag, I guess, if implementors were willing.
