i can't believe someone hasn't come up with a solution for the 4way/8way issue.
So someone did come up with an elegant but not necessarily visually pleasing solution:
Restrictor insert
You’d have to switch it out when you wanted to change it. I suppose the dust cover can still sit on top of these and they can be made to have a really low profile.
That subreddit was great with all sorts of new ideas, but I haven’t seen anything really innovative for about half a year.
Regarding Burgertime, someone posted this:

Burgertime is a bit of an outlier. Even with a proper 4-way stick, the controls are still very dodgy. It has terrible collision detection, and extremely tight directional allowance. Great game Idea, but Deco clearly made it hard as balls for more quarters.

i do remember being extremely frustrated at 'dead' spaces where i expected to whip around a corner in burgertime and being PISSED when he just stopped and waited for the eggs to catch him while i furiously worked the stick. if the BT guy kept moving like pacman this wouldn't be an issue if you didn't change direction at the exact microsecond.
i wonder if someone ever created a cheat that made 90 degree turns less infuriating. i assume with an 8 way stick you might as well gouge your eyes out.

that wouldn't work for me since i put loctite on my joystick balls. got frustrated with them constantly unscrewing. a collar with a tiny set screw could have solved this.
i much prefer what you came up with and i did lol at the guy who did it via servo and added light up buttons on the CP showing which mode the joystick was in
