The EU ain't great and lexit is possible, hmmm I have heard it before, but yeah fair enough a skim read is just that :)
I don't see how a bilateral negotiation will fix this. Every EU country can set its own rules...that's why The Netherlands is such a PITA.
If the EU wants to override that, they will have a fight on their hands with NL, Austria and a few others...for a problem that the UK caused. I don't see how that's going to be resolved. The screaming of the EU overriding local democracies will be a thousandfold.
It will also not fix the issue for UK nationals in the EU...Dutch will NOT allow dual citizenship for them either. They will lose their UK one. Germany will not allow dual if the UK leaves the EU. It goes on.
The EU has already offered everything to stay the same, the UK won't have it because of the EJC. Perhaps another court can work, but the author is not suggesting that either. They seem to be very misinformed on this, which doesn't bode well for me, but OK...maybe the rest is ok.

No, this paper is a further development of that lecture. It was released two days ago. You may be referencing the author page of the report (which you seem to be quoting). The "further" here refers to the piece in Dissent magazine.
Maybe try more than skimming. It may still not convince you (it doesn't convince me), but your position will at least be based on a more than partial understandings.
On citizenship - that's something which sucks, and which the authors acknowledge. They also note that one potential solution is bilateral negotiations, as the UK has no unilateral power in this case.
