> - systems of measurement. Adjusting the SI base unit to be even powers of Plank Units seems ideal.

Do we know Planck Units accurately enough to work with such units in the many-orders-of-magnitude-different world of people-sized things?

I think so. As of 2019, 4 of the 7 SI base units were redefined by setting exact numerical values for several of the units (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_redefinition_of_the_SI_ba...), so scientists must be confident we can reasonably recreate the base units from measuring various fundamental phenomena.
