I asked a friend who is a very good piano technician to comment on this. The main part of his reply is as follows:

Placing the solenoid rails as described above creates a mechanical nightmare for any future easy removal of the grand action. Furthermore, because of the
way key frames are made, it would require serious cutting and removal of wood which could more-than-likely make the key frame become flimsy and unstable. I HAVE encountered a grand installation like this and I swore vile
words at the person responsible!!! The solenoid rails are SO heavy and there are SO many electrical wires to detatch for removal of the rails that it took
two of us under the piano to lower the unit so that I could slide the action out of the piano. It took us HOURS to get everything ready to slide the action
out of the piano - - which is normally about a 3-minute job!!!!!!!!!
YES - -
I DID say a LOT of vile words -!!!!!!!!!
