i've tested it on my model and playback fps went from 20 to solid 60 fps without visual difference.

What about how object properties values are displaye·d?

I think it wont be super useful, but also it is not unuseful at all - i see cases where it could be handy eg. 2 bevels with different mittering setting, using single group to control influence would be easyer to work with than using 2 groups.
And i don't think it bring complication to UI/documentation/user understanding cause vertex group invert influence is quite common (eg mask https://i.imgur.com/dRh5uX7.png) in blender and it works (at least for me) straight forward.

It seems like this is essentially moving the T region to the right-hand-side ?

"T" and "N" are (Just press F5 while mouseover panel) and should remain flippable

UI: properties split into two columns

Like that?

Now there is additional values for offsets on both axes.

Well, since this feature would be helpful in my task i made it on my own.
