Sure, but a slash before and after a word? I don’t think that’s common outside of file paths.

Not even common including file paths, unless you mean directory paths. Even then, only necessary if you really want to unambiguously indicate a directory in the path itself.
Using slashes for a short/small/abbreviated list is relatively common. For example, the top post on the hiring thread right now is for a "Full-stack/frontend/product engineer". There's another one describing a "M/W/Th" hybrid schedule.
