After all that, the bearing is still closer to the mounting surface than with a traditional tie-rod end.
You mean the bolt head below the knuckle's mounting surface?

I can't see where changing the distance from ball to knuckle surface is advantageous; when the stud or bolt is stout enough to do it all without flex- and I'd sure think they are.
