Worst case-put a rx on the output frequencies, sharing your transmit antenna, and use it to prevent each transmitter from interfering with others possibly in another area.
And tell your coordinator what frequencies you're using, so they can be coordinated.
You are picking the frequencies in use ahead of time, and it is no different than a normal conventional repeater. If you setup, say, 4 conventional repeaters, you would have the same legal result.

Then do it on an STA, if that would even be required. DMR and P25 were not permissible emissions on any ham frequency less than 20 years ago. Now, DMR, P25 and other digital modes are prevalent. We had this same discussion back then, people claimed that the digital modes were "encrypted". Even though you can't hear them on an analog receiver, they are not encrypted when using the proper receiving equipment. The rules are not written to restrict experimentation by any means. We would never get anywhere if we do not bend the rules. Just do it and ask forgiveness later. That has always been my attitude.

Minor technicality. Have the rules amended to accommodate. Part 97 is due for a rewrite anyway.

Unfortunately be careful what you wish for. It may go horribly wrong.
You're not wrong. With the attitudes in DC over the last 20 years or so, who knows what could happen.
