I actually had an idea like this cause my flat pedals never feel at all large enough. my idea was rebar or spring steel (harvested from bedsprings from a mattress) or even both, rebar outer frame with spring steel for the foot to rest on.

beartrap not bearclaw. Many basic cheap pedals you might find on a 90s mtb or even granny bike are constructed in the same way tho the size of the base platform varies.

beartrap type mtb pedal

If you got the means to do proper metalwork i think making a cage for oldschool pedals would be a good idea. Bearclaw type mtb pedals or random oldschool pedals often have thin metal screwed to a small pedalbody. Make that part in bigger then screw onto.
