The problem is it only works for a few selected examples, not as a general rule.

In my opinion, if you are going to use the codes, then there should be
a systematic transformation to get the fu'ivla from the code and the
code from the fu'ivla. Otherwise, I see no point in preferring the
code to the autonym.

 

I don't prefer the code to the autonym. I prefer Christopher's method of using the code to the one you suggested.

 

I would prefer the Lojban name for something to resemble the autonym as closely as possible while still being a valid stage-4 fu'ivla. {bangu'a'a'a} et al. doesn't resemble anyone's name for any language, doesn't provide any information other than "it's a language" unless you know the ISO code, and looks ugly.
