I think you need to be concerned about strength - too many holes in the same hub might compromise safety - and that's even assuming the work is done precisely enough to avoid an out-of-round pattern or some sort of imbalance.
IIRC there are adaptors you can buy that change the bolt pattern but you're left with just the one pattern.
Has anyone checked to see if our suspensions can be modified to use the 2012 hub?

true it would have been better at 5x114.3 ... but a quick search on my supplier's website for 17" rims shows 3 times the selection of 5x108 vs 4x108

U can redrill hubs no problem, and same with brake rotors. People do 5x100 and I know some1 here is doing 5x114.3. I wouldn't do 4x100 only because wheel selection isn't the best and 5x100 gives u all sorts of vw options.
A good machine shop should be able to handle it
