Yes! Ross is probably the reigning master of the French Clarendon. Ideally this thing I'm sketching would work out a little denser, and with more super-elliptical curves. I really admire some of his solutions. That uppercase Q is impressive.
That's something I'd considered, but I'd really like the inside legs of the M to hit baseline, and ideally have a sheared-off vertex. From a purely geometric standpoint, your solutions follow the rules set by the other letters perfectly.

Do you know what to do with the N?

Not really, though I'm fairly sure I don't want to do the fake-overlap thing. V and W are going to be tricky too.

Very cool.

Have you seen David Jonathan Ross's TDC award–winning Manicotti?

Can't seem to solve the M. I might try thicker middle strokes for it just to get the width out of it.

Why not something like this:
