I don't see your "this user is banned" template as being very useful.

When I block someone, I tell the wiki system how long I want the block to be, either as a duration or a date/time I want it to end. I don't have to worry about it after that; the wiki does the rest automatically. I don't get any kind of notification when a block ends. If I wanted to add a "this user is banned" notice to a profile, I'd also have to remove it when a block ended, and I don't have a convenient way of keeping track of that.

We do have a "this person is permanently banned" template ("Indefinitely blocked"), but I don't have to worry about removing that one.

Feel free to continue working on your template, but I don't expect to use it myself.
