Wait a moment here, let's take a step back. You can perfectly
do event-driven system simulations with MyHDL using Python floats.
As I keep saying, modeling is intended to be completely general.
You can perfectly use floats or other Python types as the underlying
base type in a MyHDL signal.  Today.

A meaningful way of working would be to get the system simulations
to work first, and then later on refine and use user-defined code etc.
to get it to convert, if necessary.
