Hah, nice! Do you use dead accents? I found it super useful to put all the dead `´^¨° on my altgr-shift-12345 in order to make any accented letter I might want. I use that instead of éèä etc as there's a bunch of variations of it in french, but I don't need them often enough.

This also proved really useful when I started writing in swedish and had quick access to å without having to switch layout.

No, I made the principal decision to have no dead keys. Your idea to have both dead and non-dead variations seems pretty neat, that didn't occur to me when I was doing my layout. I might steal that if I'll end up reworking the layout at some point.

Funnily enough, Å was the one key I pushed from unmodified access to altgr layer because I have so little use for it :)
