Using the stem word to argue its proper plural form is a pretty weird way to do it, specifically considering that eximus only appears in Latin as a verb, the first person plural of exeo, exire. The pattern I've noticed in Latin is that the repetition of the i is extremely uncommon, and the form of the word would reflect the preference to avoid it, possibly changing its gender when used as a noun. Saying that -us, -eris is uncommon is just wrong, especially if you expand to -oris and uris, there are many cases of it that spring to mind immediately; corpus corporis (body), tempus temporis (time), latus lateris (side), and even jus juris (law).

All this ignores the much more convincing argument to me: Eximera just sounds better than Eximi or Eximuses. Its aesthetics are just much more pleasing. Compare Octopi to Octopodes, it's just better.
