FWIW I'm told that decades ago latches were implemented as a tristate driver followed by an inverter or buffer. The source & drain cap, along with gate & wire cap, acted as the memory.

That's how DRAMs work today

In the narrow sense that capacitance retains the value instead of a bistable pair, sure

And that's why DRAM is so much denser than SRAM. DRAM takes [about] 1 transistor per bit; SRAM takes roughly 8.

4 or 6 transistors is more common:
