I don't think I'd consider your design approach to be "way out on a limb" or "at odds" with others. Most high-fidelity speakers incorporate circuits for impedance and response compensation.
I think that some single-driver enthusiasts prefer to avoid electronic components and that high-efficiency speakers in general often have minimal electronics. That's popular in the high-efficiency and single-driver camps. But they are in the minority really, because there are far more people that prefer the sound of speakers having such electronics than those that don't.
I'm not really making a point for or against either approach, but I am making the observation that speakers having impedance and response tailoring circuits are far more popular than those without. In my opinion, you're you're sort of bridging the gap between these two philosophies.
