You yourself have quoted Campion in your article -
"it is not necessary ....to be preoccupied by the jumping of the bass from low to high register. It is sufficient that the note is there . Even on the harpsichord etc........"
But what Campion doesn't say is whether the bass would rise above other parts.
Why should it not be acceptable? Inverting the parts works in practice - for most of us.
The discussion was about Caccini and voice crossings. I have no particular interest in what would work for most of you.
