Let's assume the universe is made out of discrete voxels that are all plank length in length.
Would it be beneficial to change our numeric system so that its basis is the plank length?

Maybe for UOMs for distance and length.
Your numberline and base is pretty arbitrary though and doesn't really matter what you use except for convenience.

>Planck length can be defined from three fundamental physical constants: the speed of light in a vacuum, the Planck constant, and the gravitational constant.
These constants exist regardless of what numeric system you use to measure them.

That's a ludicrously bad assumption
>Would it be beneficial
No. You don't know what a "basis" is btw.
