I've seen all of these ideas implemented in various different LSes and FCs already.
With enough creativity and careful thought, you can get virtually any of those ideas to be plausible. Personally, (and this is not a slam on anyone who prefers them) audio-only linkshells tend to leave me feeling like I'm missing a core part of my RP experience even if they are more authentic to the lore. I like writing descriptive emotes, so only transmitting 'dialogue' makes me a sad panda. Different strokes for different folks though.
