Even though I have built a few experimental recumbents, I stil worry about

You forget the WTFIT? factor. My experience is that drivers give a
lot more room to a 'bent than, say, an MTB on the same roads. A
drop-barred upright comes about half-way in-between.
So they /have/ seen the 'bent, and failed to drop it from their
attention stack they way they would bikes with which they are more
familiar.
