Here is an interesting paper on parallel modem design using very high baud rates. One thing that does seem to stand out is the SNR that is required to make this kind of modem work on HF. This design uses a pilot tone reference and tubo codes and even with baud rates of ~ 2000 it attains bps rates of 9600 using 64QAM. This appears to have originated around 2002. I don't pretend to understand much of the math, but some of the historical information may be of interest too.
