Well... here’s a technic coupler which has the same range of movement, almost
the same dimensions and is rotationally symmetric.
I’ve cross-posted this to .technic in case the good people there can come up
with something smaller and/or more elegant. I would think there could be.

I used a similar technique in the past, though I can’t find a hyperlink to the
solution (which was not mine, I think Chris Masi’s). It worked rather well,
though the main problem that I encountered was the frictionless pins slipping
out of the 2x3 plates with holes (even when doubly stacked) due to the weight of
the 8wides I tried pulling. I ended up using an technic axle and capping the
ends to attach the coupler to the wheel set, which created a bulkier connection
that was not as easily uncoupled.
