Hmmm. That would be interesting, actually. A stepmother-type character who never actually tells rapunzel they have to stay in the tower, only that they should, for their own good. Now that I think about it, does the stepmother ever actually say rapunzel has to stay in the tower or is that just implied? I'll have to re-watch the movie.
I kind of like the idea of a timebomb rapunzel au because jinx has such ridiculously long hair so it's easy to imagine visually, but the stepmother character would logically be silco, but that doesn't really make sense to me because 1. His problem in season one is everyone kept saying PUT A LEASH ON THAT GIRL SHE'S EXPLODING THINGS and he was like no. She can do whatever she wants. Even to the point where it was actively detrimental to his own revolution. So basically I can't imagine him trying to keep her in a tower. He's not the healthiest of guardians but that's not really something he'd do. Secondly, I don't think he COULD do that if he tried. Keeping someone in a tower does not work if they find a way to explode the tower
