As to the idea of getting rid of tenor clef, try talking to a few cellists and see what they say.
Well, I have, and the ones I work with regularly are all fine with up to three ledger lines in bass clef, and switching to treble clef if it goes much higher than that for any period of time. They might have had a slight preference for tenor clef in some of these cases, I'm not sure -- but they all said the two-clefs parts I gave them were fine, and claimed not to mind the ledger lines or lack of tenor clef.
But these are mostly young New York players who are into, for want of a better word, "crossover" projects with jazz-trained musicians such as myself. Older players who specialize in the traditional repertoire might feel differently -- but then again, such players are unlikely to end up playing my stuff in the first place.
