<p>I came across this suggestion on the klipper github, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/Hypercube.Evo/permalink/192106034761003/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/groups/Hypercube.Evo/permalink/192106034761003/</a>. In order to reduce the stretching in the bowden tube you can add fiberglass packaging tape lengthwise along the tube. This would decrease the elasticity while still allowing the plastic filament to run through it. Allowing you to reduce the retraction length and have better control over the amount of plastic being extruded.</p>

<p>Is there any reasons that this would not work or actually decrease the performance of the bowden tube? </p>

The question seems to be built on a false premise, namely that the major extrude/retract errors in a Bowden design come from tube stretch. The PTFE tube is
not
significantly elastic, actually it is reasonably stiff so there is minimal scope for improvement here.
A longer tube
will
contribute to degraded precision, but slack in the filament/tube gap is roughly as significant as stretch (and filament compression). Constraining the tube path may help marginally (but there is no need to 'bond' the tube). There is not much you can to to reduce the gap between filament and tube, but this will dominate the error for a long tube.
The most obvious weak point is the clip used to secure the tube at each end. I saw a review of a recent Prusa design where high quality clips were called out as making a big improvement to securing each end of the tube.
