Wow! Lots of ideas.
That Citation I mentioned, never had the bugs all worked out before I left that company. The boss intended that Chevy to be the beta unit for a mass produced or retrofit car, and as you say Ben, the same steering weather it was in ICE or EV mode, as a requirement
Remember that older manual steer cars often used less caster (I think the metro does, too), which decreases low speed steering effort for ease of parking. I wouldn't get carried away, and I'd reduce the caster, keeping at least 3-5 degrees for higher speed stability.
You could also slightly increase the diameter of the steering wheel, too.
