I wrote my own windows resizing functions mostly in Elisp.

If your concern is that enlarging the window of a temporary buffer can
delete other windows then doing what you propose would handle just a few
cases.

The while loop at the end of `fit-window-to-buffer' is not sane.  Here I
still have it wrapped in a `condition-case' because in some pathological
cases it can throw an error.
