I'd like to revisit this map. What if as a modification to this, the crossover point is at Boylston instead? And one station or two, I'm not sure how much it necessarily matters but we'll say one. That still gets you the connections to the Huntington Ave Subway, which would connect to the Tremont St Subway using the same Marginal Road or Stuart St connections as the tripod model, and to the Orange Line. This wouldn't use every platform at Boylston to its fullest extent, but it's hardly unimaginable that some Boylston St Subway trains would be better using the Park St or Gov't Center loops rather than continuing to Design Center. The one this this is really missing is the OSR from Huntington to Seaport however, and I'm not sure there's an easy way to add that back in. A flying junction at Boylston seems easiest but space there is very constrained so I'm not sure that's possible.
(And again, this assumes that the Essex St route works, which with no portals I think it probably does.)
