Everyone was doing exactly that and even I did something like +hundred artsy file_id.diz headers for the scene groups or my own groups. When "releases" started to be from 5 to 15 disks (packages), many sysops started to clearing the art away from the file lists and just leaving an oneliner of the title visible, like:
The Name of The Release Disk: [03/12]
Interesting too that as niche as they are today, they are still being made. The last ones I did was in 2015.
