I have to admit that I have not read your full description. But I have not found any reference to the RIPE Atlas project https://atlas.ripe.net/ <https://atlas.ripe.net/> I think it would be worth checking what can be achieved with RIPE Atlas and what is missing from that project in comparison to yours.
