The direction property already does what you wish to do with the inline-direction-horizontal/inline-direction-vertical, although it appears that you are wanting to put the glyph rotation into the inline direction properties. In reality, the glyph rotation is a factor of the orientation of the line flow/stacking and not the inline property of the individual line itself.

My thoughts: I feel that inline-direction-horizontal/inline-direction-vertical is better than direction/writing-mode. It removes the need for a shorthand property (and associated redundancies). It avoids the block progression direction/inline progression direction coupling problems of writing-mode. It avoids the horizontal/vertical direction coupling problems of direction. It's also more intuitive than the direction property imo. The glyph orientation properties/property values seem more complex than necessary, but I'll take a closer look. I feel that up/down/left/right is more intuitive for glyph orientation than specifying an angle. For example, it doesn't require remembering whether 90 degrees is left or right.
