I think it would be too fragile for most purposes. Unless you can make missing feathers grow back like a living penguin it would wear out quite fast.

So do we have extreme weather gear based on similar principles and layout, or have we discovered a configuration that works better?

Not yet but hopefully soon because penguin coats are really expensive.

Most wearable insulation works pretty similar, right?
Its a layer of air, trapped in some kind of matrix, so that it can’t move, with some sort of inner and outer shell.
