I use paralleled dipoles here, and I have limited the number of bands on a single feedline to 3 bands, so I have one for 20, 15, and 10 meters, and another for 30, 17, and 12. The wires are spaced about 1 foot apart with PVC spreaders.
I like fan dipoles a lot, and quickly came to all of the same conclusions you did. One thing I learned from modeling is that the lowest frequency band has the same SWR bandwidth of a single dipole, but the dipoles for higher frequencies have roughly half the SWR bandwidth.
