Wouldn't work. Banestorm has 2 features that differentiate it from standard RPG fantasy worlds. 1) It's a worlds where the crusades never ended, given how the world has changed in the 34 years Banestorm was first conceived, this won't fly today and is why SJG needs to develop a new, better default fantasy setting for GURPS. 2) Healing magic not being the domain of Clerics. This gamer trope isn't even on the radar of most normal folk, so it won't stand out.
Now Technomancer might do better but really for GURPS material to attract that kind of attention you not only need a setting, but also a story to adapt, and GURPS has been rather shy in putting those out there.
If there's something I'd like to see it's SJG pivot away from seeing GURPS as ONLY a toolbox and release a setting or two that really attracts attention and provide it with on going support.
