IMHO this is nonsense. I use much more mail addresses as a sender than I
would like to bloat my key with (check this mail for an example).

With configuring my mailserver to redirect *@nahrath.de to my account it is
no problem to have all these adresses valid.

You may give a one-time warning to your users, that a discrepance betwheen
signing-key UID and From:-header might be seen as unpolite by some people
(although not by me).

Just think of all the people who write from a role-account! They can't all
include <support@company.TLD> into their personal key.
