Have you considered adding a "flatten" option to imenu itself?
That way, you could automatically get the functionality for free
everywhere, not just in Org mode.

I have considered that but gave up with minimal investigation because it
seemed harder then this solution.  It's possible imenu did actually have
this functionality sometime before 1998 (see commit
fe2908be7b09f4c765ebdaf16fe07b0a77f78ba8).

One of the things I love about Emacs is the longevity, which leads to someone musing about a feature that might have existed 25 (!) years ago.
