Basically, you don't understand how full-automatic fire works in real-life. You don't start firing a burst and then somehow manage to walk it into the target. Instead, you sight onto the target and then start the burst. Thus, it makes no difference how controllable the weapon is for the first shot of a burst, which in real-life very often is the only shot of a burst that hits anyway (especially in handheld weapons). Instead, the controllability of the weapon matters for all the shots in the burst
but the first one. Which is exactly how the
GURPS rules work. So, no, your proposed rules don't improve the realism at all. The
GURPS Rapid Fire bonus kind of breaks down when very large numbers of rounds are fired (very high RoF). However, that has nothing to do with controllability and very little with the Rcl stat.
