And it's apparently not too hard to make the pattern options continuous from omni to bidirectional, the fairly inexpensive CAD M179 has this feature. This might make for some complications but it would also enable a lot of experimentation with stereo configurations.

Ok, that makes sense.

Many omnis have more directional characteristics as the frequency gets higher, this is why the Decca Tree works with 3 omnis.

So, theoretically, you would get some directionality with 2 omnis in a stereo configuration. Probably not as spacious as a Tree.
