Any mass move like this would be disruptive for gecko. Although we do have support for moving metadata files when downstreaming, I don't particularly want to find out all the edge cases that occur when every test is moved. Moving the tooling is not well supported since various paths are hardcoded (so that e.g. wptrunner ends up on the Python path when running gecko-specific tooling). It would also cause merge conflicts with every local change, and break tests relying on absolute paths. I can't imagine it would be less than a week of work to fix all the fallout from such a change, and more than likely there would be subtle breakage not noticed for a long time. In the absence of strong evidence that the current setup is causing problems at the same scale as the disruption any move would cause, I am very reluctant to start making large-scale changes to the organisation of the repository.
