I think it has legs imo. When you mentioned it, I conceptually understood what you meant on the spot. It has weaknesses as per my detraction i.e. even though Cyrillic is being used the neighbouring countries one can have ideological differences invoking 'otherness' despite sharing the alphabet. Perhaps one could look at anticyrillic concept as a subset on your list? Also, Bulgaria comes to mind as not being slavic but adopting cyrillic writing, in addition to being one of the religious conduits to Kievan Rus of the Cyrillic bible (which ended up as being recognised as Old Slavonic writing). Historical quirks. One could turn to Byzantium historically if one is to analyse the back currents. Ultimately, Cyrillic alphabet has replicated the Greek alphabet. Just look at the Cyrillic letters. And, after all, Cyril and Methodius did come from Thessalonica.
