Having some spare robot limbs in the bar medbay does seem like a good idea; they're basically prosthetics.
I agree that having them be able to simply popped back in isn't a great idea considering the benefits of robot limbs already, but I do like the idea of being able to repair them with wires/screwdrivers/welding torch. It allows you to do the surgery yourself (as opposed to getting drunk or relying on sprite glitches) but there's still a fair amount of preparation/inventory management so it's not an out and out bonus. Possibly a repaired limb would lose the cyber-benefits--you have two hands again, but if you want your strength back you'll still need to sweet-talk a roboticist.
