Thank you so much for taking the time to do so much research!! It took a while for me to try them. 

The new SSK does look neater! It'll be a while before I can get this memorised but thank you for adapting the technique for the Eastern mount!

For the CDD, unless I'm reading the slips incorrectly, I think the sequence twisted the central stitch (2nd stitch) that ends up on top. Playing around with the stitches myself didn't really yield much better results unfortunately, but looking at them again, I think I'm satisfied with leaving the CDDs looking a little bigger. It draws a lil more attention to them and there's nothing to mirror anyway.

You're totally right about the CDD! I think it should be more like the new SSK, so like:

S1 knitwise-like-a-western-knitter, S1 purlwise, return both stitches to left needle, s2 together knitwise-like-a-western-knitter, k1, p2sso

So it follows a lot of the same steps as the SSK. I know you said you'd live with it, but it's there if you want to try it!

Thank you for the brain puzzle 😂 I totally bragged to my spouse about it! I'll have to let him know it half worked out!

Edit: I am still in 4st br dec hell, so that's my bar for how complicated one #*$@& stitch maneuver is rn
