For people who are worried about Arabic script or Persian which uses the same script for a few centuries; you can define boundaries for the letters of said scripts. It is well studied and known to people who design fonts or typography for these scripts. You might need to adopt different approaches for achieving a similar outcome.
My native language is Persian and by a simple search for “Anatomy of Persian Letters” in my native language, I found some easy to understand articles. For example in the following article it’s mentioned that the scale and boundaries are measured with with wrapping “dots” of a certain size around the letters. I imagine you can count those dots to define a container size equivalent to cap sizing. The link is in Persian/Farsi but you can recognize the dots and the shapes in the pictures.

I am not a typography expert but I am interested in the article and wouldn’t shoot down the idea without hearing some expert opinions just because the scripts look different.
