Wouldn't minimal surface deflections, a combination of ailerons,
flaps, rudder, and possibly elevator, reduce drag during a
roll?

You've lost me. You seem to want this to be more complicated than it really
is.

Forgot to mention, aileron differential can balance drag, but
only for a limited range of airspeed. Again, I assume that
the goal is efficient thermal turns (not high speed turns),
so this speed range limitation is not much of an issue.
