Well technically speaking it was outlawed in the aries convention. Other than that no problems from me.
I find that 'pinpoint' accuracy during a bombing run increases proportionally with the amount of munitions used.

Or just improved AP pods that scatter anti-armor charges. How heavy is an AP pod? 0.5 tons? You can fit a lot of SRM warheads in that mass.
Plus, gas isn't going to bother battle armor, which is sealed.

How about incendiary AP pods that could be used to start a fire in the three frontal hexes that the 'mech faces? Would be usefull against vehicles and infantry, methinks...

see also: Mech Mortars (they come in an incendiary form already)

Not if done properly.
I was figuring you'd use a small charge or compressed gas to toss the explosives out from the pod, and would use SRM warhead-sized explosives designed for the job, not actual SRM warheads. Think of it as a cluster bomb strapped to the mech's shin, or imagine putting a small grenade under a duffle bag filled with tennis balls - you'd scatter the submunitions everywhere and completely turn the infantry into chum for a significant distance.
