That sounds like a good compromise, so long as (for administrators' sakes) there are easy signposts to get to those templates if they need tweaking.

How many covers are we looking at as "too many"? I'm assuming the default is below 10 (which has 5 rows of two).

Typically, there are always two covers; what we call "dressed" and "textless", as in - the main image, and the version without any text on it. When there's a variant, we can expect one or two more, for the variant and its textless counterpart. So, two images is typical, four is common, six is slightly less common, and so on and so on. It just depends on how much DC wants to milk us. :P

Here's an example case with nineteen images:

What we could do is insert it where there are more than a set number of covers. It won't be able to dynamically change the image like it can now, but they'd be available as pop-up windows.

In the example you gave us originally, the three image toggles looked fine and good, and didn't take up much space (although, for some reason, clicking the third option expands the box a little??)

I'd like to see a version that takes up less space when there are more covers (like the link I sent above), but my ideal would be that they be hidden, but available. Maybe what you've suggested here is the best option.
