The OneAircraft ONE, for its 2+2 version, boasts empty weight of 330 kg for a MTOW of 750 kg. I can't help feeling some skepticism, this sounds very very optimistic. Also, the 100 HP 912S might have its hands more than full with 750 kg... Would many be actually flying?

THE Tecnam? Messrs. Tecnam produce a broad range of types, and several are certified in more than one category. It must be said I am mostly familiar with two-seaters powered by an 80 HP 912 (not a 912S as I think you mean) and that might be considered overkill.
