Does anyone do this? or any suggestion/advice
Our answer relates to retail customers, not vendors, but may still be of some use for you

It's possible, for retail customers, but you would need to do a lot of data entry work after having already pre-validated all of your potential City entries...

Meaning...

To make a usable dropdown table for City, you would need to enter all of the correct values yourself and ensure they are specified correctly within Countries, States, Zone etc too.

We do this for County, Region or State (we're in the UK so we use County first in the label, then Region and then State as opposed to the XC default State label) but not City which we thought was a level too far. Especially, when you have many different Countries for which (even at our chosen County level) you need to pre-validate all of your data first, as mentioned.

If you do go to City level, then you may encounter argumentative customers with "ahhhh but it's a Town not a City so I entered it above..." or vice versa, which is worth thinking about
