Let pretend you have (at least hypothetically) really excellent (satisfying your reference points) single UB channel. Then how are you going to achieve the coaxial effect one gets with 4 allocated in space channels? It will be very educational for me to learn the answer of this question :-)

Why do you think that achieve of coaxial effect shell be my objective? It never was and I feel that coaxial objective is just artificial objective created to sell coaxial drivers. Live sound has nothing coaxial. The single point-source is ridicules, I wrote about it many times. It is not to mention that there is no such a thing as coaxial single point-source as all coaxial are not time-aligned by nature. I do not insist that I have a really excellent single upperbass but among the many weakness that I am able to name in my own playback I would put upperbass not at very top of my list. Not because it is very good but because it sufficient for what it is. I do think that topologically a single upperbass  with single MF are fine, two upperbasses  are better than one upperbass , 4 upperbasses  are better than two upperbasses. You will have problem to position 2, 3, 4 upperbasses however in context of practical installation. Probably 2 upperbasses would  do, in the same way how I use my Injection channel but it you go for more then you ask for horizontal positioning and this spells setup problems

Well, my idea of using 4 strategically arranged channels around the midrange driver is not because I need bigger sized upper bass, but because this technique allows the lower midrange (and also the upperbass) to flow freely in the space

I do not see that 4 strategically arranged channels would allow lower midrange to flow more freely in the space.
