Thanks for sharing! It is nice to look at things "the other way around" - I was taught to do the same in chess, many years ago.
As for
Unless a skid or special "crash pad" is provided for the rear portion of the fuselage when the nose wheel type of landing gear is used, the rear portion of the fuselage may be damaged in case of an unusual "tail low" landing.
yes, my little pride has such a skid, and a mighty relieving idea that is when landing at (in my beginner's eyes) absurdly high AoA on short runways, the stick all the way back and almost loosing sight of the horizon - or so it feels, at least.
But your nice text doesn't mention what was mentioned in my training as the main advantage of the tricycle configuration: avoiding ground loops just after touchdown, because now the centre of gravity is BEFORE the "point of attack" of the braking power. Whereas a taildragger has it the other way round, making the momentum seek a way of overtaking the braking power of the main wheels.
