You've mixed up =org-src-preserve-indentation= and
=org-edit-src-content-indentation= so I may misunderstand. But I guess
what you propose amounts to

 1. When =org-src-preserve-indentation= is =t=, do not touch
    indentation one way or the other (same as now).
 2. Otherwise, do what we do now, but for the common indentation in
    the org buffer, use the org value of =indent-tabs-mode=, and for
    the rest of the indentation, use the native value of
    =indent-tabs-mode=. In this case, instead of trying to read this
    value, we might as well just blindly add the common indentation,
    to every non empty line.

When I say significant, I don't mean for compilation. When editing an
array of equations for example, one might want to keep one equation
per line in the buffer.
