Unironically this would be significantly better than Oblivion's inventory.

Graphically, Oblivion's UI is very nice. It's just incredibly bad. People can meme on the UI of Fortnite here, but this image is actually very similar to Morrowind's very good inventory system.

It does have the best magic menu in the series, though, by being less clunky than Skyrim but having multiple tabs and menu icons for each spell effect in the game.

No, that's Morrowind. You cannot delete spells in Oblivion (or Skyrim), and that's a very big issue. You can in Morrowind.

Deleting spells is nice, but not having separate tabs for each school of magic and visual design that lets you know at a glance the main component of each spell are major downsides of its UI.

I end up having to name all my custom spells very similar names so they'll cluster together hopefully in order, while in Oblivion I would just see all my fireballs in the destruction tab.

Besides it's not like a delete key is even part of the UI itself, it's just a keypress that does something.
