I'd be in support for this! I've found it a bit (interestingly) weird that in my early game I'm just kinda living out in the open? It sure doesn't make me feel safe & having my campfire go out in rain sometimes can be frustrating (though I've found I can make a silly dirt L to cover it, which works but isn't very immersive lol).
I also like the idea of actually having a use for the pelts in early game that isn't just armor, especially since they go bad! It makes a lot of sense to me that, to some degree, it is easier to throw a large pelt over a big stick and weigh down the edges to make a little shelter than it is to craft armor from pelts and sticks. Plus portable small shelters would be really nice when you have to move around for certain materials a lot in the early game (my clay deposit is soooo far from my spawn point where I've set up camp ^^; )!
