Sidi Rifa'i, you make good points, ma sha' Allah.

With regards to your comparison of al-Waisiti and Abu Hanifah, I believe this doesn't hold much water. You can't compare the jarh of Abu Khalif (Matruk, Rafidi, KADHHAB! etc agreed upon by everyone in ahl al-jarh wat-ta'dil including the lovers of the Aal like an-Nasa'i) to the jarh on Imam Abu Hanifah (not as strong, not by all and generally biased).

Yes, Imam al-Kawthari believed the entire Zaydi madh-hab was worthy of being followed. Imam al-Kawthari was not ma'sum, and he was pretty much alone in this. (Abu Zahra was sympathetic too).

Yes, the Hadawi fiqh contradicts the Musnad in a number of places, and the explanation you'll get from Zaidis is that they are commanded to do ijtihad.

Did anyone accept the aborgation of Mash fil Khuffayn from amongst the Sunnis?

Does history really tell us that the Musnad al-Imam Zayd was relied upon by the Ahl al-Bayt? The muta'akhirin?

I havn't studied anywhere, sadly. Who authored the Fiqh al-Aal? I'd like to read it in sha' Allah.
