controller and model with same name

I've modified the hack for maintaining backward compatibility, so for me '_controller' suffix is not mandatory. But I prefer for new projects always to use the '_controller' suffix (for controllers) for newly created code. As the article mentioned you will use model names much often, so it is preferable model names to be cleaner and expressive. I hate seeing things like:

$this->users_model->...
$this->users_m->...

They uglify code in unacceptable for me level.

I think, the solution is nice, it merits to be implemented (with adaptation and BC) within CodeIgniter 3.

Of course, for your particular case it is your project and your own decision.
