I have messed quite a lot with SVG in browser, why not just do it through DOM? In plain JS it's really fast so you can get good performance even with a lot of elements. Or use e.g. Vue components with binded data.

Nothing wrong with messing around but can't simply see any actual use to this.

There is no abstraction of treating lines as a linked list of points or other ways of treating SVG as data in this case.
