Judging from the ’22 Road Glide Special I just sold, with installed factory fairing lowers, I don’t think it will fit with lowers.

Is there a provision for the clutch cable on the newer Touring and Softail bikes for the downtube version?

In theory filling filter sounds nice. But your engine still has oil in it and is coated. You are draining oil pan not engine when doing dry sump

Look at autos, look at all the bikes doing just fine

This relocation is not as extreme as the ones where they put filter to rear of bike. And maybe not all that different than some brands of oil cooler in terms of stressing pump.

until I saw pic I thought it was one where the put oil filter by saddle bag.

So the value of this is no mess for changing oil filter??

Those look good.

The clutch cable and adjuster are on the right side (brake side) down tube on current touring frames.

Thanks plus they are out in the air stream which can't hurt reducing some heat.

It does not stress the oil pump anymore than a larger oil pan stresses the pump.
You are over thinking it…
