I have a working clickpad tree that I will be pushing for review soon, but I don't have any HP laptops, or any of the ones with LEDs. > > 2.)

Eh, it's actually easily doable; just have a per-device property for the time in millis to ignore all input for after a keyboard event, and do it all in DIX if that property is ever set on a device. That way you can still have the clients in control, but you don't have to rely on an external daemon constantly enabling and disabling your touchpad.
