There are two problems with C-?:

Do you mean two modifier keys?
It's just one shift key. C-? is the same as C-S-/, at least in GUI version.

C-_, one of the two existing bindings for 'undo', has the exact same
problem. Which, for undo, is more significant, I'd say.
* It does not exist at all on ttys. (I don't know whether we can
change that on Linux consoles.)
I don't know either.
It _is_ a drawback, especially for users who tend to switch between GUI
and terminal, but I don't have any better suggestions about that. But as
far as new users are concerned, GUI Emacs is a lot more popular.
Whether constitutes a problem for the undo-redo feature depends on the
precise meanings of the two commands. I don't know those details
so I can't judge.
I don't think it is. As Juri said, the target audience of this feature
expects 'undo' to be on Ctrl-Z and 'redo' on Ctrl-Shift-Z (though many
editors bind it to Ctrl-Y as well).
M-_ is likewise inconvenient because of the need for two shift keys.
I guess you do mean "two modifier keys". See above.
