Looks like it was researched as well as one might bother, and did well at 2024 Unbound, 30 min video here.
I cba watching the whole thing but it all makes utilitarian sense, except maybe the big tyre - deep rim combo, but then again it looks like he spent time in a wind tunnel.
Remains aesthetically peculiar, tho.
Edit: looks like the wind tunnel data works out in favour of it

I suspect a saddle might not end up being as big of a comfort gain on a fixed bike since you're spending a ton of time out of it? If you're chunky enough with the tyres, I guess the biggest thing are the gear ratio and bar position.
I run 65 gear inches which is great for commuting but after a 200 audax (not in a rush to repeat that) I'm thinking a bigger gear might be wiser. Hills will be hard either way, but would be nice making the descents easier. -

Speaking of false bottoms, I forgot cumulus now has some:
https://cumulus.equipment/eu_en/down-sleeping-bag-aerial-180.htmlI'm curious about the idea, kinda feel like it would be easy to get cold spots. I think it's easier to realise you've tossed and turned enough to get a gap with a quilt, but with a false bottom, it's fabric all over so might not be as obvious. Then again it's performance innit
Excellent contribution otherwise (imo)
