That's not entirely true. Contemporary composers (I think Ferneyhough started
it, others have continued it) have used time signatures like x/10, x/6, etc.
(which Lilypond already supports) where the base unit is a quintuplet-eighth, a
triplet-quarter, etc.
(There are earlier examples of equivalent time signatures, e.g. in Boulez, but
they don't use the simple ratio -- Boulez writes things like (4 + 2/3)/4 where
Ferneyhough would have written 7/6.)
Given such a musical context, it may make more sense to write,
\time 4/10
c'10 \times 2/3 { c'10 c' c' } c'20 c'
than,
\time 4/10
\times 4/5 { c'8 \times 2/3 { c'8 c' c' } c'16 c' }
