As a simpler kind of answer to your spaced-omni question: I've gotten
recordings I like outdoors with distances from 20 to about 60 cm. I tend to
like the 60cm recordings through headphones and the closer ones through
speakers, though I can't explain why. I've actually come to like the A/B
(spaced omni) recordings for speakers as much as binaural recordings played
back through speakers.

With distances under a couple meters, the time of arrival of sounds at the
mics has the biggest part in making the stereo effect; intensity differences
are generally too small.

If I had longer cables, I'd be tempted to a 10 X increase in these
distances.

Please post again soon with your opinions based on experiments.
