Yeah, I thought that too. All you said!
747s go pretty fast yet they don't have pointy Concorde noses. GA aircraft are blunter yet!
I'm kinda in the same boat with Basjoos' nose extension, and recall when he said it improved things. MMMMMMMMM I thought of commenting but he does seem to document things better than the average bear. If it is helping perhaps it inadvertently fixed something else not related to it's pointiness?
And yes, it looks like that substantial rear extension still has a lot of area at the cut-off. It does have boat-tailing in the plan view... but he's not all that far from me and has to contend with the crosswinds I was talking about in another thread. I wonder about boat-tailing in yaw, and if it might actually make Cd worse?
