If you want a truncated format you can extend later, why not use
SHAKE128 or SHAKE256?  Then you don't have to implement a non-standard

SHAKE is not part of OpenPGP yet and I doubt that this will be a
mandatory algorithm in 4880bis.  SHA-256 is de-facto a mandatory
algorithm right now and available in all OpenPGP implementations.

We need to provide a smooth upgrade path for implementations and not
require them to throw new algorithms in.
