Imagine a 55 CD box set like Bach: The Complete Sacred Cantatas and appending a sequential number to each and every CD title seems daunting, I prefer a separate tag like "COMMENT = SplitMulti" that doesn't require additional numbering of individual CD's aside from DISCNUMBER. That still offers the desired flexibility.

Also, Imagine this same box set, scrolling down how many tracks to reach to CD 54 in my control point is... well, not great. Or finding CD 21.
I would prefer a multi-disc album be represented in my control point like following picture, I get this in folder view. Perhaps the current presentation should be available as item called ">>All Tracks" like there also is an "All Artists" item.

What do you think?

I think the requirements for a 54-disc box set are not the same as a multidisc album that typically has 2 or at most 3 discs. See this thread for a discussion on how box sets should be handled by MinimServer.
