Hello and sorry for the late answer.
Everything's possible but unfortunately it does not mean that it is always technically sensible to do so.
Perl is written in a way such that autovivification is a feature tied with the deferencing syntaxic construct, not with how the variables are implemented. Your proposal would require to enable this module globally (because you don't know where your object is going to be dereferenced), then identify the variables that are marked as "should not vivify" and handle them correctly. It goes against how the core works internally and would definitely result in a large global performance hit, so I'm afraid I don't want to see it implemented in this module.
Best,
Vincent
