Honestly, I'm not sure. (Which is why I didn't comment directly on the proposal.)

As a matter of narrative logic, some of the "Unbound" stories seem to act like What If? stories — that is, taking the narrative of the Doctor's life to a certain point, and then turning right instead of turning left. But others are a bit less literal. Full Fathom Five isn't based on the question of "what if this had happened instead of that?" but on "what if the Doctor had a different moral code?" And Exile is largely a comedy. I'm not sure whether treating those stories as "alternate timelines" akin to Turn Left or Silurian Earth is a good idea, or whether it's entirely supported by the stories themselves or Big Finish's statements of intention.
