This makes good sense to me, I’m happy to walk to the corner for mail to make the job 1000% more efficient for the carriers

in many places they've always done this. I grew up in Cambridge Ontario and when I was a kid we had a neighbourhood mailbox thing that we'd have to go to every day to get mail.
My childhood mail carrier had to walk up the front stairs for every house on my block!
I wish they would do this in Germany as well, worked for 2 months for Deutsche Post, it was one of the worst jobs i ever did and i worked as a waiter for 10 years, at least it helped me lose weight while i worked there July-August 40° every day, but would never go back there even if it was the only job available.
