In India motorcycles with 4 gears do just that! N – 1 – 2 – 3 – 4. It works just as fine and I never had any accidents or issues but the gear lever is much longer as long as your foot. And to go up the gears you have to tap the back of it, to go down you tap at the front. So that way it’s much more deliberate movement for what you intend to do. I guess that matters somehow or having 4 gears is just obvious enough to the rider which gear they are in.
