What makes sense about it being at the heel?
This is the best of all worlds -

Whether that's solved by an access slot, a wheel or by having the allen key slot at the headstock I'm happy.
Ever heard of people converting a normal bass (where the neck has to be removed) to one like your photo? Would it just be cutting a bit out the body and pickguard or more involved than that?
That would be like causing a disaster to solve a peeve for me.
Although, it's a P Bass I have that has the problematic truss adjustment so it wouldn't be an issue for that with there being no neck pickup.
On that one it is, yes - but you could have the pickup a lot closer and still have room to get the Allen key in - there's still a gap between the pickup and the slot. Or alternatively, all you need to do is make the pickup rout deep enough and the adjustment screws long enough that you can lower the pickup into the body and get at the truss rod over the top of it.
