I don't see why it has to support multiple remotes (but then I don't
have much experience with workflows involving multiple remotes, so I may
well be missing something). A local branch can only have one remote
tracking branch on one remote, and in my view --force-with-lease without
arguments works with that remote tracking branch only. Is this view too
simple?

Maybe I wasn't clear enough about that in my proposal, but I propose to
always store the commit hash of the remote tracking branch as a new
lease after push and pull, not the local branch. This way it works
nicely with pull --rebase and a branch that has extra local commits.
