My experience is that this information would be both highly appreciated and deeply needed by young men–and old–who are working toward being effective.

I also like the idea of priesthood meeting being a “gospel in action” meeting, rather than another gospel instruction class, but that may be because I’m so attracted to the 1/2 hour timeframe instead of a full hour…

Means for Securing attendance of Negligent Members

Well, there’s one difference. I don’t think we call non-attenders “negligent” anymore. :-)

More substantively, I would add that I kind of like the idea of a weekly home [ward] teaching meeting. For example, I could imagine a portion of the Elder’s Quorum meeting being devoted to discussion of the needs of the Ward families who are being hometaught. Like these instructions from 1928, a weekly check-up seems to be an effective way to consider the specific needs and assignments relative to ward members.
