My view is always be ready for anything and other people's buddies do go missing so they might just come screaming into you for gas.
You say that if they're otoxing then you probably would be too. Not true - different people haven't different levels and again it might not be your buddy but someone else.
You don't plan to be able to donate whilst in mask off situation but you should be able to cope.
Anyway, having to spent the weekend having had various different OOA and mani failure drills thrust upon me I'll stick with my way and remain upclipped under the water. It was in my training to do do this and I still concur with that.
We all train for unlikely events - broken harness - complete failure of rig and emergency swim to buddy - hole in wing and drysuit - is it being over-complicated or planning for the worst case.
I agree with you that keeping it simple is the best thing one can do.
BTW I meant no offense by using the word "folly" it is very mild.
Keep well
