Ideally wrc should be able to calculate the needed resource size too; though no clue how much effort that would be.

Well auto-calculating resource size might be no problematic: think - multi-line strings might need to be split at different places - sometimes other dialog elements may have to be moved as well (Fr sentences are generally somewhat/much longer than En equivalents for instance) Automatic resource size calculation doesn't precludes adding the possibility of a manual override.
Additionally, tools like ResHacker (to easily visually alter size/strings/...) might be unusable without some sort of preprocessing if all resources are migrated to a po file. ResHacker will work like always. wrc will still generate .res files; ideally barring any fixes the SHA1 of the generated res files will be the same before and after the move to PO files.
