Seems like the main problem with that setup would be, if you turn your wrists outward to hit the 6TFC layout (and mirror with your right hand), you'll have quite a stretch to reach 'B' with either side. (Otherwise it would be great, as your wrists would be in a more natural position, without the need for a split keyboard.)

Exactly. Perhaps 'B' is the reason touch typing uses that strange rule. I'm using it, but the 'B' key was still hard to reach and was causing strain. So I remapped it to the right of 'L', where there is basically an unused key( I use 'shift + ,' to get ';' ).

I want to try the layout from that keyboard[0], but I wonder if it would be a waste of time, since it would take at least a month to obtain a normal typing speed.
