I believe WTF is working on something soft for the midsection.  You may want to contact them

Also @MrPoopiewas experimenting with 3d printing a flexible plastic for the midsection

If you're comfortable printing with TPU I created files for the Ab sections which will give you a bit more mobility. For an average sized person it takes about 2kg of TPU filament and a lot of patience as it prints pretty slowly. I'm pretty happy with the finished product though.

PM if you have any questions about the files.

It has indeed been done before. If you check out the link below it will show you Taylors build where he removed sections and replaced with a more flexible alternative.
