The TAG reviewed object-view-box (tag review) which also supports these <basic-shape> values. These values are also supported on other existing properties, such as offset-path.

This should now be "WebKit: Shipping".
I didn't know it at the time I sent this intent, but WebKit was actively working on this feature too, and just landed these changes (see 一丝's reply, above). I've updated the chromestatus entry to note that this landed in WebKit.
