General Motors 'IDEAL FAIRING' ( semi-trailer boat tail ) of 1980, had generous, 'ALL' edge-radii corner intersections, both horizontal & vertical.
And Professor Carver & Scott Funderburk et al., of 'Tailwind Project', Texas Tech University, 1995, commented that these 'softened' edges were basically capable of eliminating the formation of any high-drag, longitudinally-attached vortices, regardless of orientation.

To 'include' these features to John's tail would 'magnify' build man-hours by an untold amount.
It could be remain a 'Plan-B', but John's the 'Captain' on this one, so, I'll wait until asked about it.
