Or are you even considering this as a new product?

Oh yes... it's definitely being considered. You're spot on with your observations.
Pretty sure I will make the 1.5" adjustment at the trailing arm x-member, and not the arm. This will allow me to keep one standard length trailing arm all the way across the board (makes production easier) and it will keep the converging angle the same. I will just add some more holes to the trailing arm x-member to frame mounts allowing it to be used in it's factory position, or moved back to accomodate more drop.
As for pinion angle... there's so many variables (one or two piece driveshaft; ride height; tire diameter; etc) that I will most likely supply some extra axle saddle in the kit, and allow the end-user to adjust per application. If they don't want to put new perches on, they can always shim it.
Bag mounts and shock mounts will be relocated (have a couple ideas). Trac bar mounts will be incorporated into the notch and trailing arm... most likely.
