I googled "eggs soaked in lime"  and was surprised to see what came up.
Even city folk could do this if they get UNWASHED EGGS from a farmer.

Would the lime water leach any kind of bad taste into the eggs?

That, plus the unwashed factor, soaking in all that crud for a year or two, makes this kind of unappetizing.  But maybe it's okay.  I'm a city boy.  I wouldn't know.

Hey! I will let you all know. I put several dozen of our excess eggs into the water glassing storage about a month ago. I will probably do more soon. We will probably wait about 6 months before we test them. Worse case scenario - pig food!
We didn't wash the eggs but only used fresh clean eggs. They will be washed and float tested before I crack any open. I used glass gallon jars.
I wonder how they used to store eggs.
Anyone want to guess how many eggs I fit into a gallon jar?

I'm not sure how soaking them already washed will work.  The wisdom in Europe is that the eggs shouldn't be cleaned, as that wipes off a crucial layer that preserves the eggs.  Unwashed eggs can also be sold and stored without refrigeration.  Washed eggs can't.

I bought eggs in Poland --- I stirred earlier than my in-laws and cooked breakfast while everyone else was still asleep --- and I don't recall them being unwashed.  I got them from the refrigerator section of Biedronka just as I would in the US.  The only difference was that they were brown --- that seems to be the default color of eggs in Poland --- and came in cartons of 10, not 12.  I reasoned that this allowed for easily being able to tell how much each egg weighed and how much it cost, just divide by 10, a logistic evidently informed by the metric system, as well as being easily able to calculate how many eggs were shipped, sold, and so on.  They were delicious.

2 dozen?

Last month I dehydrated and powdered 10 dozen unwashed  farm eggs( raw). I placed an O2 absorber and vacuum sealed the jars. The shelf life is supposed to be up to 2 years as well. We'll see.
I saw the lime bath ones but was too chicken to try it. It looks pretty simple though.

Pun probably unintended, but still there.

This link from the bottom of the original post answers a lot of questions, especially about washing and there are a couple links (in green) with videos.
