Of course, both of these changes qualify for the "it just ain't TFT" critique I fear.

I don't see it as a "profound" change at all. As the rules stand, to score a hit, you roll against adjDEX. DEX is adjusted for armour worn, wounds suffered, facing, etc. The way I play it is exactly the same; you roll against adjDEX but now DEX is also adjusted to account for the skill of the opponent. It's still TFT just a more logical TFT.
I'm also not sure why you consider 3d6 a poor choice for comparative rolls. If you believe that then you surely think that it's a poor choice for any rolls. Either you like the bell curve of 3d6 or you don't.
