@J1000 have you seen the news from Toyota on a new Hydrogen combustion engine they have been developing? It's at least gotten a decent amount of airplay in various youtube videos and online as I've seen it there. Seems like they've made some changes from previous systems and are pushing forward with the tech though I don't know how much is really news and how much is hype, etc... I'm not sure if some of the limitations you are pointing out will still apply with what Toyota is planning but I've also not dug into it much.
